@Tamerlane I doubt that stuff will happen to Ichika, there was a pretty long gap between when the stuff happened to her in the van and when we next saw her try and come back to society iirc.
Ichika was a bitch but reading the shit that happened to her was fucking hard. I think having her come back would be a good way to move the story further since we already know how it ends (lll-ω-)
Damn man, was expecting a cute-ish chapter looking at her somewhat subdued anxiety reaction compare to previous stuff, but halfway the chapter her old friends returned.
Peer pressures a bitch. I've been there so I know how shes feeling, but at times you need to embrace the fact that you don't need to stay around popular people to validate your own life.
She needs that reality check and jusdjung by the small preview in the forat chapter I font think that's happening.
