Shitai Katsugi no Nemu - Vol. 3 Ch. 11 - A Good Neighbour

I get what they were going for but the bear is too human to sell the idea. If she is fully capable of connecting with and interacting with the bear as a normal person there is no reason for her to have basically neglected her daughter.

Brother Bear looking ass bear btw.

For me it's actually really easy to understand as I'm somewhat similar to the mother. Maybe I'm as 'autistic' as this mother or whatever, but being able to connect and interact has nothing to do with how much I love the other person. With most people I always feel like there's a wall that just can't be overcome. They don't understand me and I don't understand them and a lot of time conversation just tends to peter off. But with people I can feel connected with I would be a chatterbox and life of the party. Some of my friends are very surprised when I tell them that with my family I'm known as very stone faced and quiet.

But I do still find the resolution weird. I highly doubt anyone that's not similar in thinking would understand and the daughter's pov clearly show she doesn't, reaction like the comments here are definitely more expected than this. I got the feeling that the author is the mother (or know a mother like that) and wrote this as a wishful scenario.

Chapter should have stayed in the drafts. Yikes.

Yeah, naw this ain't it chief. All the mother did was making sure her daughter, if becoming a mother, would wind up with the same emotional distancing issue she had growing up. She didn't earn ANY of this "secret" love redemption AT ALL. Could've at least gave her a moment or two of her "mask" slipping, and hell the stakes were so astronomically low it absolutely does not justify her distancing. Her daughter wasn't gonna get JFK'd if she get a hug, jfc

Yeah I feel nothing, that mother failed so fucking hard.

Poor girl got led around the nose by her mother's diary as if any of her mum's thoughts she had while she was constantly absent from her life changed that she never spent any time with her and her dad.

Like.

Flails

-When you understand things you can protect yourself from fear and anxiety. So of course i will not talk to my child so she could understand me; shit, i sometimes make a face that i know could make my daughter fear me, i'm sure not giving an explanation will be fine; she's just like me, who had problems to interact with people, surely not interacting with her is the correct way for her to grow up
