The Dangers in My Heart - Vol. 7 Ch. 99.2 - Vol.7 Special Edition Extra - Episode Zero

[DarkVeilNight]

We all had that girl or guy we really liked but never had the courage to speak to growing up. I for one always had feelings for a girl for about a year and never spoke to her until we went to the same class together. Just because you don't speak to someone doesn't mean your not interested in them and everyone conveys their feelings differently. Yamada always kept things Ichikawa threw away or gave her. Some moron kept saying I was wrong Anna didn't have any interest in him since year one but she did. In my opinion, ever since she saw him she was interested in him he caught her looking at him a few times and during the opening year one entrance ceremony everyone got a paper rose to wear like a badge. Later that day he pulled out a knife and cut his name and the rose but he got scared because he felt a presence behind him so he tossed it and walked away without looking back thinking it was a teacher. Later on in the present day She pulled out the rose and shocked him because that was the same rose he threw away and she said she found it but never said she got it from the trash. That's not the first time she did that either. She even kept the bottle he gave her after they missed the train. When he hid in her room she kept it on the window and jumped on him to prevent him from seeing it. She was obviously interested in him as soon as she played eyes on him besides from giving him the death stare she was force of habit use to doing it because of her mom. That's just my opinion.

I purposefully skipped reading this back then and went back to read it now.

I can't believe I skipped on literature gold.

Kyo's depressing thoughts struck really close to my heart

"Yamada always picks up things I thought I threw out. She holds onto them and treasures them dearly" Yup I teared up

HOLY FUCKING SHIT EVERYTHING IN THE FEW FIRST CHAPTERS MAKE SENSE NOW 🤯🤯🤯

Hmmmm... I don't think so. That was only a blissful coincidence for Ichikawa. Yamada not only was not interested in Ichikawa: she didn't even know he exists. Cannonically, that only changed with the sports festival in their 2nd year of middle school, when Ichikawa protected Yamada from being hurt when she fell in the middle of their centipede race. At that moment, between Ichikawa's upsetting by hurting himself due to her and the asshole of Adachi blaming him for the incident, Yamada didn't take any step towards apologizing with him. But she certainly did remember that moment in Karte 1: besides the fact she made the library as her refuge, to deal with Ichikawa became an unexpected added value.

I also agree with those that claim she was taking notice to some extent, even if it was subconscious, from the very beginning here. On some level, she wanted to keep this rose because of him, even if she didn't necessarily recognize him or know who he was. Subconscious can be strong, and we already know Anna had a fair bit of awkwardness with new people, especially boys, so it wasn't surprising to me to realize she acted the way she did in this prequel piece.

Even the 'cold stare' part I had already rationalized as some sort of product of that awkwardness, but knowing it was a habit formed because of her mother's coaching about making herself 'presentable' just made it that more obvious.

Sure, she didn't know Ichikawa existed, but that doesn't mean on a subconscious level she wasn't interested. We already can tell he reminded her of her father, since they have a similar aura, so even if she didn't consciously know who he was or if he was the same guy each time, she felt something familiar and comforting about him all the same, and her subconscious wanted to preserve something of that person, impulsively making her keep the decorative fake rose.


You can say she didn't know he existed all you want... subconscious can still make you do things your conscious mind doesn't acknowledge.

And we already know Anna tends to be impulsive, which is ruled by the subconscious.

If any, the "blissful coincidence" regarding the rose paper seems to me more romantic than an convoluted theory about Anna's subconsciousness.

I don't see any need to force ourselves into thinking there is more love if they have known for more time. If that was true, every romantic manga would have the childhood friend as a winner.

Time was needed. He still needed to cope with his failure. She too and, besides, had to deal with the problem of becoming the new celebrity of the school. There was no love in the air and it's perfect that way: Yamada was still Yamada and picked up that rose just because... "cute" and Ichikawa was still Ichikawa and decided to "idol" Yamada in his own twisted way.

Time would just come in a perfect way and I think it was more romantic that way.

 

[apstorm]

I wasn't saying it was 'love'. I just was saying there was some unthinking recognition of some familiar traits that might have led her impulses in certain acts that still fit the 'blissful coincidence' scenario. Still left her mostly unaware of Ichikawa until their interaction in the Library.
