I both hope that is and isn't the case.

I hope it is, because it would be nice if Ruriko wasn't just a bad mom and person who cared more about cultivating talent in her daughter than her family at large.

I hope it isn't, because it takes the wind out of Yuu's sails in trying to prove she's as capable as her sister, and worthy of her mother's recognition.

if Ruriko turns around apologizing at the outset for abandoning her, that's great--but Yuu might lose some of her motivation, turning to questioning why it had to happen at all, rather than focusing her energy into songwriting with Haru.

I could see a "both options" path, but Yuu's own journey started because of the tension with her mother. So that tension should be real, for Yuu's sake, to propel her to achieve her goals.



Why would that be a better story? Yuu's goals involve becoming a musician and songwriter that earns her mother's respect.

Outting Ruriko as a bad mom in the public eye doesn't achieve that, and only makes her look like a victim.
And that runs counter to Haru's own story of standing on her own and rising above her passive and timid self to become someone strong. Since the two of them are connected, something affecting/labelling Yuu would do the same to Haru, undercutting them both in a narrative sense.

I mean, you can have Ruriko still acknowledge Yuu and be proud of Yuu without taking the wind out of Yuu's sails. Just have that be revealed after Yuu does what she thinks will cause Ruriko to "acknowledge" her that Ruriko had acknowledged her skill the entire time. The wind being out of Yuu's sails doesn't matter if the boat has already reached it's destination.

The only thing I need to not happen is that Ruriko can't know Yuu and Haru are under her production company. Haru is the one singing the songs anyway, at least at the moment, so just have it that she doesn't recognize Yuu's style. Otherwise, a layer of nepotism gets added to the story that I'm just not a fan of.
