Oh, goodness, this was a powerful chapter. Shimizu's words were really... backed with the weight of her and Maekawa's relationship and how it's changed both of them there. It was wholesome to see how it's changed them, because Shimizu at an earlier point wouldn't have gone to give the dad his daughter's manga and put things out there so openly, and Maekawa wouldn't have simply accepted it. I hope the dad manages to reconnect with his daughter too, after this.
