Thank you for picking up the translation! This series really means a lot to me.
Words really can stick with us like that. Someone called me a flake ten years ago and I still think about that shit constantly. It gets internalized, and you kind of go looking for it, like you're being compelled to touch a hot stove over and over. It seems like Saitou knows that she's that she's doing it though, and she's trying to get a handle on it, which is good, but it's still gonna be rough. I hope the two of them can get on the same page.
