Next chapter will HAVE to include an equal amount of every main character. That means we'll probably get a Yuma and Sakura talk about their future, the continuation or the aftermath of whatever the fuck is happening with Fumi, and then.. the time skip.
But if we assume that we'll get an extended chapter, we could get.. pages of Fumi going at it with the rando.. and more Shinobu heartbreak.
But, it'll be interesting to see if Airi tries to repair and keep ShinoFumi as a pair, because that will tell us everything about both of their mindsets.
But a time skip is needed at the end, with some decent conclusions to all the characters..and now I'm just wishing here.. lol..
Whatever happens, this chapter was definitely.. a very.. pleasant surprise.
I hope Airi gives us something.. close to a happy ending. Or I just can't see Shinobu being mentally fine after what has happened in the span of a few months to him. This is some top tier torture.
Right now Fumi's fate, and the fate of the ending all lies in the hand of that actor. If he wants, he can make the story bend to his will. If he reciprocates, it will be torture. If he stops, Fumi gets her shot at redemption. But whatever that leads to, we'll definitely get some "good" dialogue from all the characters. I can't even imagine the absolute peak they're gonna start spewing.
The pieces are all in position. We'll just have to see what move Airi makes to end this game. And the two weeks wait could very well be worth it, or just trash like this one.
Whatever the outcome, these past few months spent following the reactions of people have been really fun.
