that one childhood friend/teacher defo has a crush on fushimi

also analysation for ch. 8:

Seems like Riho grew up w a heartbroken yet bad mom and she got influenced from her mindset. From what I could see, the father wasn't that bad as what the mother depicted. Maybe he truly didn't care his wife or maybe not but one thing is for sure: he cares about Riho.

There are multiple scenes that proved his love:

•He got Riho a bday present:
•He didn't want Riho, a child, to witness her parents arguing and tried to soothe her by telling it's okay
•He got angry when the mother tried to manipulate Riho by painting the dad as the big bad guy

The mom's constant brainwashing on Riho from childhood had made her get used to the harsh treatment as a way of showing care (i.e. getting mad when the person you care got into trouble). Care and love can still be shown through gentle handling like how Fushimi displayed when Riho accidentally littered the trash. The mom seems like she's always guilt tripping Riho as well when she suddenly bursted into tears, sobbing about the dad when Riho was just trying to talk about her school's janitor, Fushimi. As a mother, it isn't healthy to be constantly relying on your child to relieved your painful past.


tldr: the mom is a mess and riho is brainwashed
