You starting to desire intimacy and Michi suddenly becoming self-conscious again are so irritating. First off, You didn’t care for the last 2 years, but when there’s a slight possibility, for all he knows, of Michi cheating, he starts showing affection?!? And Michi’s affair with Niina would’ve just been blown by if Kaede didn’t come. Like I want Michi to be happy, but you can’t just be making progress and 2 chpt later, regress all the changes you made. Where was did that confidence go? She was growing so much as a person, but in the end, she still couldn’t face her past.
