So.... why is her focusing on her music instead of her friends and relationships a good thing....???
Because I also had this issue with a streamer I loved, and sorry, just because you work hard doesn't mean it's something ANYONE should care about. It's selfish, and you know she'll go on and on about how important it to her and just assume you'll also be cool with sacrificing almost everything you liked about them. BUT IM WORKING HARD RIGHT! NO SLEEP 4 ME HUR HUR SO HARD WORKING. I just liked the old person you were, the one who liked the same music as me, not who ever you want to be in the future
Hm... I see what you mean, but I can't help but disagree.
Relationships like these are a give and take- As we continue to change as people, the distances between us continue to grow, and it up to
both parties to reach for one another and close that gap. If that effort is one-sided, the relationship itself is one-sided as well, no matter what kind it may be. Our relationships with the streamers we like will unfortunately never have the same dimensionality required for that to be put fully into practice, but I do not find it fair to condemn one's dreams for not being the same as your own.
Mitsuki has plenty of passion for music. I cannot help but find that admirable.
I am not saying that completely shutting yourself off to the world is the correct answer- That in itself is one-sided- but tell me, are Mitsuki and Aya the paradigm of a functional relationship?
No, not in the slightest- they're teenagers who are learning about love- not just for one another, but for music, one stumbling step at a time. If we criticized our teenage selves the same way we did teenagers in romance manga, I think we'd get slapped... After all, isn't it that messy, stupid part of love that we can't help but be drawn to, again and again? Is that not why this genre is so beautiful?
I'll put my trust in these two. Even if it's unorthodox, they'll find a way forward.
Thanks for the chapter, as always. I can't wait for the next one.
