That's not how I had expected that conversation to go, but "you are a person because other people interact with you as a person" is a interesting approach.
Everybody complaining about the cliffhanger, even though Yuu was hit on a non-vital spot and we know they have a way to treat his wounds.
Meanwhile, I'm more surprised about Yuu confessing his feelings for Asebi so soon into the story. This didn't take 200 chapters of will they or will they not shenanigans!
Seriously though. A confession almost exactly halfway through a manga is a damn rare thing, I had to go look up the chapter count to make sure it hadn't been axed at chapter 34!
