This still doesn't make me any more attached to Nobara. Her past is relatable and all, and textually diegetically it's a pitiful speech for Sensei to forgive her, but present-day Nobara took on the clingy antagonist role herself.
All I want is context for why Hiromi was either unaware of or in denial of the queer aspects of her works.
