Many Thanks for the new chapter.
I already had a general idea that Emi was significantly older than Runa from their conversation in Ch. 108, by at least 10+ years; I figured she was either in her mid-thirties or her late-thirties, her rough older-than-she-looks appearance due to being a smoker. Her being 40 is rather surprising, because I also did figure if she was in her forties, i thought she was well pushing into her mid-forties by the way she looked.
It's sad that she had to quit her soapland job because of the death of her father. Though I wonder what's she's going to do now since she apparently has moved back in with her mom as a result.
