Did you forget that the entire reason the plot exists is that her mother is completely uninterested in being part of her life? This chapter in particular is meant to drive home how their estrangement is so great that mother doesn't know what their own kid is really like, and the kid would rather have their "fake" family around over their "real" one.The family issue makes no sense rn. What kind of mom looks at their smiling kid and thinks "ew, I don't know you."

Well the answer to that second part is probably that she just likes Nanase. But can’t seem to figure out how to face those feelings for real, so they just sublimate into the existing relationship framework that she built between themI did forget...
Edit: while we're at it. Is there an explanation for why the 9 year old is the "mom?" Also why does the sister sexually harass the "brother" so much?
What I want to know is this kid into incest because of her desire for both love and family? That seems like something that should be addressed because that can't be healthy.Well the answer to that second part is probably that she just likes Nanase.

Or it’s pseudo incest that the author added as bit
Or both!
