"No, she's a dog"
She's lucky he didn't outright call her a
female dog. Given what happened between them I'd like to think he was half-serious about that pointed remark. He even doubled down and called her a stray dog, figuratively hounding him wherever he walked.
I'm just sitting in amazement at how the initial antagonists are seemingly being recycled into love interests by the way this manga tries to make them look cute. But it doesn't work on me knowing they mentally damaged the protagonist before and have done nothing to atone for it.
"This isn't me trying to repay you or fix anything"
"Nor am I trying to redeem myself"
If you hurt somebody, why the hell would you skip the "fix anything" and "redeem myself" steps before jumping into "I like you" and expect it would work?? Does she really think she can get away with the horrible things she did (her words) just by waiting it out and then suddenly start dating him as if nothing happened?
Neighbor onee-san is a new can of worms with how she's clearly trying to butter him up...
"There are some things that mutual love just can't win against"
"The wounds that you've inflicted on people stays forever"
These lines sound like she's actually into hurting people and might have hurt her ex-fiance as well. Then she changes into the infamous virgin killer sweater and attempts to seduce him,
a minor... She's
clearly bad news and I don't even need to know her past to be able to tell. Good job running away unless he wanted to get entangled into what I think would be a web of sex, lies and pain. She's crazy and you know what they say about not sticking it in crazy. Or a virgin-hunting cougar prowling for her latest boy toy to eat up and spit out after she's done.
Meanwhile, Mom knows what she did wrong, but she's also trying the wrong ways to make it up to him. That bathroom tactic might've worked back when he was still a very young and innocent boy, like at the time of his flashbacks, but it's too late for that.
