If anyone's asking, the total page count is 101. Also I really would've liked to splice the pages like a manga but unfortunately they came in unequal dimensions, RIP.

For those confused on the plot after so long since part 1, I suggest rereading that and Ch33: Chocolate specifically.

yeah with a backstory like this it really does feel like the father kind of doesn't matter because Youji is pretty heavily implied to just never have gotten over Ren, which regardless of whether she actually genuinely liked the guy means that it was never going to work out in the long-term.

Additionally I do find it very interesting that Youji talks about how she used to think she had a crush on this guy in middle school but ultimately realized that the aspects of him she liked where just things she wanted herself to be. real comphet hours lmao.

Personally, I like how the back story goes. Though some might not like the way they choice career over love. However, I think, that's the best decision to make at that time. After all lots of arguments occurs revolving artist/actors specially if the other half was more popular and successful than the other.

Eh, a lot of people fear dying alone or can't take societal and familial pressure to marry and have kids and so just get hitched to someone. It doesn't usually end well, but people don't always make the smartest decisions.

that but also, homophobia would have killed their careers. Given that both of them were still starting out, using their debuts to gain better work and higher fame. A scandal where these two women turn out to be dating would have literally ended both their career. when Ren tells Youji to not even say the words that's what she's getting at. Because if even just the confession got out neither of them would ever find work in the industry again.

This then of course implicitly pushed Youji to marry and have Youzi with the guy who doesn't matter, a heterosexual relationship is fine in a way their homosexual one would not have been. This not to say of course that Ren wasn't also having trouble adjusting to how meteoric Youji's rise was and how she'd gone from being the light to the one chasing it. But if Ren's then inability to adjust to looking up to Youji was the reason she wanted to turn the confession down, then homophobia (not on her part but societal) was what caused her to tell Youji to not even confess.

In my opinion, the main reason Ren turned her down is most definitely her inability to cope with the fact that Youji was more popular than her. That's why I can't support her decision. It comes across as self-interested, at least in part.

Feel like it's more inadequacy, feeling as though she can't measure up and bear her weight. Not wanting to be a burden. Don't think it was born out of selfishness. It's not an uncommon idea in these stories.
