"grandma wasn't very honest about her feelings when she was younger"
Oh . . . So it runs in the family
(that's definitely a low blow coming from me)
And now we're in the arc where Saitou isn't being "honest" with Akane. Id say she tastes her own medicine here. If Saitou is to accept her being dishonest, she really needs to do the same and trust him, otherwise it's a one sided relationship. The other route is for them to be more honest ofc.
What the aunt said in this chapter is indeed harsh, and a low blow if I say so. But, to be fair, Akane herself said it to Saitou. Doesn't feel good hearing it from others it seems raite.
Thank you as always for the sl!
