I'm glad I could turn the corner on Niji's character. Seeing her just so happy and excited in the previous chapter, into her being ecstatic to be alone with Remu here...she just wants love, the kind she's never experienced. She latched on so hard to Remu's moment of kindness that it spiraled into a full-on alternate reality.
And if Remu wasn't the kind and supportive person she is, Niji would have lost her chance at love once again, in a way I don't know if she'd come back from.
But I understand the desire to escape into a fantasy, to shut out the harsh world around oneself. Niji is unfortunately taking it a step too far, but there's a chance that she can pull back and find her way to a healthier place.
Remu has done it, insofar as she has two people in her life who know her "secret" and who accept her anyway. The sister she looks up to in Meguru, and the confidant and ally in Azuki. Both didn't turn away from her, and now Remu needs to find a way to get Niji into the same state that she's managed for herself.
I hope she can do it, and I hope it can be done well in one chapter...given we also need Azuki & Meguru's conclusion on top of that.
I'm sad this one's ending, but I look forward to seeing how the author closes the curtain on these four. It's an intriguing premise, and though I would have loved double the chapter count to really dive into their stories, I am glad we've been given what we have.
Thanks for your work on this series up to now.
