ANOTHER UPDATE FUCK YEAHHHHHHHHHHH
Once again we start picking up on Totonou's past, because that panel "I want to repay them someday," just...sticks with me. It reminds me of the conversation he had with the other guy about when parents neglect their kids they start to feel apathetic towards them, and how Garo mentioned he reminded him of a kid, wanting attention 👀👀👀
And now: GARO!!! MR IKEMEN I MISSED YOU! I'm so happy I freaking loved this guy, loved watching him speak, loved his surprising perceptiveness, and his interactions with Totonou always had this undertone that I couldn't quite put my finger on, I guess the best way it sums up is Totonou's line, "Someone I was kind of interested in." *insert more eye emojis* I kinda like how the mangaka is relaxed with that part too, how Totonou is so chill with liking (or not) both men and women. Nice touch. Can't wait to see what's next for this guy on the run.
The story with the wife also made me sad, the poor mother, and seeing her little messages to her daughter she had barely seen but loved so much... the ending was dark, then again it's been a running theme of sorts, of how far you'll go for the ones you love and the deep desire to protect (or in Garo's case avenge) them. I liked how they deciphered the little pictures together, and wOW I can't imagine the work put into translating that into a way we'll understand properly, thank you so much OP!! It's one thing to translate directly, but to put it into a context we'll get better makes me so happy ;w;
