Shit bouta go down im feeling it, my bet is Bro will crash out hard and hurt (emotionally) Oshiko.
Not before It cuts to Miharu and Doc for 15 more chapters tho.
Really gotta wonder how Nozakinis gonna manage things when he's this emotionally exhausted over having birthday cake. I can empathize with having a small social battery, but it's starting to look like he can't handle reciprocating anything at all.
This little thought his doctor planted, it's gonna grow inside him, little by little, until he won't be able to endure it anymore. In the end this is what will put their relationship down. Oof
When it all inevitably crashes and burns, I blame that quack doc, for purposefully agitating Nozaki and then just dipping rather than fucking explain like a proper fucking therapist
