I can already see where this heading since he's not telling her the truth. Once that moment happens, she is going to regress & spiral downwards. Izumi just tell her the truth before it festers. Thanks for the chapter.
Ok so there's a possibility that if he revealed how he came to like her that it won't be so bad, because she's already accepting that "his eyes say I like you". But if all her scars and reason for committing suicide came from her past role as an Idol, it might backfire pretty hard too.
Is it truly a red flag as you guys are saying? Is it not possible that after hearing someone say they want you to live on your lowest moment, you develop genuine feeling for them? No? oh ok
