Shino: Healing and slowly re-creating and improving a self, separate form Nozomi
Nozomi: Hello, darkness, my old friend...
Like, just as you're feeling good about Shino, we cut to Nozomi low-key looking worse than ever. NOZOMIIIII PLEASE ACCEPT IT AT SOME POINT TT
It seems the current plan is for Shino and Nozomi to break the co-dependant cycle they created and be individuals again. Which is good, because the co-dependency was toxic af from both ends (though it looks worse on the Nozomi side, because she is the adult).
I still low-key want Shino and Nozomi to end up together, idk why
