We're finally here - the cracks are starting to show in their respective armors, and they are becoming more intimately aware of their situations, even if it hasn't quite set in yet. For Hiiragi, is it better to have your trauma in the past, and return to an empty home and an empty life? Or is it better to live like Tomikawa, with your abuse and trauma front and center and stifling the air you breathe the moment you set foot in your home? Perhaps they can find the answer in each other (I am so curious to see myself, as this is around when I got busy and didn't have as much time to do my own translations).
Also YES PLEASE SUPPORT INUYAMA-SENSEI ON FANBOX. She's been sharing so much of her work for free and her Fanbox extras are so good.
Also also. I mentioned in another thread to keep an eye on the pupils/way eyes are drawn. This is one of the first time we see Tomikawa display the same all-black pupils that Hiiragi always has - a sign of her facade dropping? We see this same style in some of her
twitter extra drawings, including one which ominously points out Hiiragi's eye color hex code is literally #000000. I'm always morbidly optimistic when I see that - one can only hope that letting the mask slip means she's open to admitting she needs help, but who truly knows.
Anyways, this has been a lot of depression talk. Capping this off with another
twitter extra of the goobers being bad at smartphones.
Ed: Have another
twitter extra because I'm always bowled over how adorable this Hiiragi-chan drawing is.
