I am a bit confused about the panels with the tissues in Yamada's hands and the flashback. The panel in the top right corner of
the sixth page is in the present, and not part of the flashback, right? Ichikawa saw the tissue pack in Yamada's hands. How is it related to him going from "
I thought you didn't give a shit about the feelings of those you used." to "
That's right. I already knew the truth that Yamada isn't that sort of person".
Just seeing her crying over this incident could certainly bring Ichikawa to this conclusion, but I don't understand how Yamada "treasuring" the tissue pack comes into play here.
In the basketball-nose incident, which we see in the flashback, Yamada cried because she let down her mother and her manager. Ichikawa "gave" her the tissues, because she ran out. Does Yamada even know they were Ichikawa's tissue packs?
