Watashi no Blue Garnet - Ch. 14

[PsychoTheRabbit]

Best thing for Kon is staying put and simply attempting to move on with her life.

If Ai figures herself out and moves beyond Kaede (and I think that's currently a big if), and she seeks out Kon again, Kon can make the call if she feels she can let Ai back in. But it'd be Kon's call, 100%.

That said...I kinda think Ai can pull through, at least with her disillusionment with Kaede. I suspect she's seeing Kaede's penchant for simply saying & doing whatever she thinks her partner for the moment wants, but how she otherwise is strangely detached and unemotional. (Spotting her behavior during her job with that other customer, when she was all smiles, felt like a clear indicator how Kaede can just "switch" it all up at a moment's notice.)

But, if she suspects Kon is finally done with her, I think Ai might assume that she truly is unworthy of genuine love from someone else....and might "consign" herself to unhappiness by rejecting her own desire for Kon.

At which point....well, feels like an impasse that requires outside help.

I partially agree.
Tbh, if Ai only pulls through because "things didnt work" with Kaede that wouldnt make for a great ending since Kon would just be the next best option.
Yes, there is a chance Ai feels rejected by Kon and enters in despair, but if she needs saving again or simply fails to chose Kon on her own that again wouldnt make a good prospect for her future with Kon.
From Ai actions, it seems more like she feels obligated to help Kaede, but idk if she would be willing to abandon her to go to Kon with how things are. Personally, if she stays longer to help Kaede to only later go to Kon that would also be bittersweet.

Sadly, knowing the author previous works i have a bad feeling it might come to Kon trying to drag Ai out of the mud.

in case I don't see ya: Good afternoon, good evening, and good night!

I look forward to seeing your "I'm done with this" once again when 15 drops in June.

Big fan of where this is going. Inami continuously teetering on the edge only to finally make a snap decision--only to regret it to the core.

I suspect Ai is "fine"--insofar as she is not dead, but Inami shutting her down likely sent her spiraling harder than Kaede's revealing her instability did. I suspect Inami will go running to Okayama, though it'll be a needle in a haystack situation from there. But she's desperate enough to do it, and impulsive enough to simply drop her life once again and flee in Ai's direction.

Not really expecting a "happy" ending, but I am curious to see who walks out of this still breathing. Inami saving Ai could be pulled off--whether it's warranted, is up for debate, as a truly tragic ending would be neat to see. But I suspect we are nearing the final act, or thereabouts.

Thanks for your TL work as always.

+1 to this all, but I think it's been really interesting to see how Ai has kinda just monkey branched (imho) to Inami -- it's clear Ai has never really gotten over her first lover and this is just lowkey a trainwreck lol

I'm interested in seeing how the author is going to wrap this up and what outcome will happen.

Personally I want none of them to end up with each other lol
