Why does it feel like they're speedrunning the yokoya family backstory
I think it way past the time. And the way they went with it, it hammered on Hitoyoshi's head what kind of father he has. And I liked how Yuki saved him in an emotional way and not just her superhuman usual self (yeah, she held down Katarina before jumping on Hitoyoshi but Anna and Grace could've come up with the macguffin to stop his mother).
But I do wonder where Abigail is right now since she was somewhat related to Katarina and clearly wasn't that fond of Shin being near her.
