Finally getting into Nanashi's and Mizuki's pasts together! So they were abused by their parents...but unlike Mizuki, Nanashi still held a glimmer of hope. 😭
That is one hell of a thing to say on the first meeting. Perhaps Mizuki is one of the causes for the death of Nanashi's mother? I checked and the timeline fits.
And perhaps, the one Nanashi wants to bring back is his mother all along...
