In some dialects of english, long does rhyme with nxng. American english dialects which lack the cot-caught merger, for example, would pronounce them as a rhyming pair. So, if you pronounce cot and caught differently, then you'll pronounce long and nxng as rhyming.

Thank you for the translation (I like the use of the honorifics even if I have next to no hope of pronouncing them 😅. Gives this a more authentic feel to it).

Story is going a little too insane too fast when it really doesn't have to, another member said it was a honest accident with cooking but the photo is dark, implying she did cut herself,also surely millie has a inch of IQ and could bandaid herself, no ?

Millie either cut herself or had an accident and is freaking out about it. Even if she can bandage herself, she clearly needs help right now, even if all that help amounts to is Zen being there for her.

I don't think it's as much of a bait for the readers as millie intentionally baiting zen. it really fits with millie's whole character to do this so zen rushes over and gives her much-needed attention after millie's mom says she'll leave even earlier

Good thing you guys added the honorifics! It's a good way for lay people to understand a bit about the language and culture of the original work.

Also, Millie definitely tried to cook and something went wrong. She could have cut herself fr but it's definitely something silly like "Oh no help me I can't cut this" (making some drama to get her crush to worry)

Looking at the way the blood is distributed, the cut definitely doesn't come from her wrists, it's most likely the palm of her hand or her thumb, which is a common accident when people with no skill have a sudden burst of confidence to feel like a Master Chef

Ofc the cliffhanger is bait and it's open for discussion if this type of bait that is used A LOT OF TIMES in media is really that funny (it isn't), but Millie won't try anything harsh. She knows the best way to go against her negligent mom is to get a cute gf and be happy.
thanks a lot for the explanations. I admit that similar with Zen, I immediately assume that Millie is cutting her hand to do suicide. but after reading your explanation, yeah, those cut on Millie's hand doesn't really indicate of suicide. and also Millie's mother didn't scold her for run away from home. so it's not makes sense if Millie immediately thinking to do suicide. unless it's turn out that her mother is forbid Millie to going near Zen again off screen......because if Millie become lonely, she can easily going to Zen's house again instead of killing herself.

I’m 100% certain given Millie’s personality that this was a cooking accident. Plus Millie has other ways to get attention and I‘m not the most knowledgeable but I thought people who do self harm usually hide it and their feelings. Not slit themselves and call for help but again I’m ignorant in the subject.
