I dislike the story line which makes me hate the aunt but I have to know there is no way shut like this really happens in Japan right? It’s mind blowing that only because of guilt the aunt decided to be cruel to her nephew- all those years she spent with the child she never could get over the death of her sister and her brother in law that was a complete accident <_<? Do people not like therapy or something?
It sounds like she was going to a hospital clinic for therapy based off of the uncle saying how she was “sick”. But it also sounds like she became completely convinced and deluded herself into believing that Yanagi was blaming her for his parents dying and that she started to resent him in addition to herself. And well no amount of therapy is going to fix that if she doesn’t want to fix it. :/
I know it's not my place to say this, I still hate the aunt
