I actually cried during this chapter. I can only imagine how heartbroken and worried Koharu’s mom was, seeing her child return in tears. Wondering if having her keep going to school was a good idea. Scared that her heart would break again. And now, seeing earth surrounded by friends, having fun, getting gifts for people who care about her. Parents only want to see their child happy and right now, her parents can now see how happy she is and know everything will be okay.

holy- she just saw a slip in the timeline. ahhhh, honestly i love how precious this series is. because it simply just is

 

[Reimarry]

It's amazing how they managed to convey so much in this chapter with so little dialogue. This also really helped to show that the problems that led to her withdrawing were present for years before the story started.
And yet, with so little, so much was said. About her mothers love, about how Koharu suffered. And just how important even a few friends can be to someone.

The magic of show don’t tell. THIS is what they mean when they say that phrase.

I thought we went back to before Koharu quit school and became a shut-in. The first bit of her being back in time has her mom pestering her to get up or she'll be late for school. And she remembers some things from her first couple of days at school that happened in her previous go-through before changing the timeline (like the pictures of Izumi getting out and her being distanced from him after it) so it's not like we went back to the day/day after she had quit school.

Does that mean that her mom has memories of the previous timeline for some reason if she's recalling Koharu telling her she wants to quit school? Or are we supposed to assume that Koharu had a previous meltdown and didn't want to go to school but got talked into it (which, I grant, would not be the most ridiculous explanation but is one that should come with a bit of relevant backstory unless I missed it) and then quit again for reals later on? Or is this just a bit of a slip into retcon/forgotten lore territory by the author?

In the flashback, Koharu is wearing her middle-school uniform. There have been moments in earlier chapters where she's let it seep through that she did not enjoy her middle school days either.

It's in her high school days that Koharu ended up shutting herself in, but that happened only after having her own self-confidence being hammered on again and again. You don't just suddely become a shut-in.
