What a wrecking ball of a character. It's like our protagonist worried for two seconds and this old lady just starts yelling about how death is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER MAKE A MOVE OH MY GOD
She's fun. I was just thinking that Narumi could simply kabedon plant guy and Miyoshi would stand no chance (which is a pity)

That's a bit of a sudden tonal shift alright.

Funnily enough, I had a supervisor a few months back who said something nearly identical. I was calling out the fact he was always pestering everyone about what they did over the weekend and saying they wasted it if they stayed home doing nothing. He retorted that when he dies, he doesn't want to lay in bed full of regrets, much like the actress in this chapter.

Should be noted that there is a toxic aspect to all this - it promoted overworking yourself and burning out. As with all things, balance is key. Some periods you go all out and push yourself, others you just relax and decompress. That's the true Zen way.

Her approach also prioritizes the quality of her scenes over the rest of the production's schedule and budget. It's that friction that comes with ideals where if every single person involved was on the same page as her it would be great, but this chapter kind of makes her look annoying to work with while she criticizes the newer generation for being considerate of others.

I like the writing of her character since it doesn't feel like she's perfect or something, she just brings a different perspective that helps in the moment.

Add another character to the "would be a perfect wingman if only the author let them" list :win:

Granny's seems like one of those hardasses with a kind centre, and she's worked for it. Can often be hard to get along with, but if you can, she's gold.

I'm sorry but, where the hell is the director? Don't get slapped around by your actors like that.
