that last line, can she really? to be honest she is so forgettable that I dont remember prior chapters, and this chapter the angles don't show it clearly, but from what it seems like, she strikes me as someone lacking pretty majorly in Plot.
If I'm in the Reiji's shoes, I actually dunno what'll I do at that point. I mean, not a single shred of, what's the word... grudge? (English is not my native language). I get it she's apologizing and her childhood life is ruined too...
This chapter is like a patch for previous chapter as if the author is saying "Guys the arc is done but I forgot to tell that these two are also possible new members before we move on to new arc. Just a heads up"
