Probably should have reconsidered my criteria on this one
This chapter was actually the reason I went to Japan when a blood relative offered to pay for it, with the obvious caveat being to pay them back over time. Unfortunately, there was a chapter much earlier that said "the planning is better than the trip itself" and that kind of summarized it. It mostly wound up being a negative experience for various reasons and left more memories on "dark past" as manga tends to refer to it.
So... re-reading this one chapter was... (ironically) depressing to say the least. Kinda feel even worse than before. I think most agree that Mamoru has a lot of admirable traits and that we all should strive to be better, for our own sakes. So, kinda feels like failing someone you respect, idk. It feels like I only ever get worse. Took a break from re-reading for a bit.
