oh man i like these characters a lot. i think the tanaka guy is honestly so relatable to me because i've literally had his chapter 1 character arc before its so real when you're depressed and you dont know it and all you can do is look down on other people before one day you just see some guy living his life and you realize like wait... hes not shitty i am
i dont actually have much sympathy for anyone in this story except the apothecary
