interesting how the author is playing this out… whenever asahi is with kouya she second guesses herself because of tatsuo (insecurity in disguise as loyalty) and not because she doesn’t feel like it. meanwhile, tatsuo acts based on his own feelings rather than thinking about how asahi would feel about it (selfishness in disguise as independence).
this whole chapter is a rollercoaster ride…. mc is batshit crazy and i don’t know if the author’s intention is to keep him that way til the end (aka messed up ending but he gets what he wants) or if they plan on making him become normal at one point (which seems…. almost impossible or at least hard to imagine)
