YIKES!!! That must be PAINFUL to hear for both of them!!!
On another note, this is such a nice segue to Itoshi's past. It also causes them to communicate more properly since we know that Itoshi looovvees to talk about himself~ Well- SPIT IT OUT BOY!! QUIT BOTTLING IT ALL UP!!
Ahem- anyways, it's so fun to see some two birds one stone action! Clear up this miscommunication about your child and face your past demons!
Also, seeing Itoshi's expressions, other than worried, happy and angry, is sooo refreshing to see!

Yknow, I saw a movie ages ago about a person that can rewrite history with his actions, but he will remember all the timelines he's been on. I forgot the name, was it butterfly effect? Idk.
Anyways, at a later part, he starts to get a headache and this condition worsens simply because his brain's memories are both too abundant and perhaps conflicting with each other. I assume something similar is happening to the ml. Maybe this is why the ml's brain is rejecting or hiding his past memories with the fl in this story. Trauma could also be a factor, nothing against a simple reason as that.
I forgot the conclusion of the movie. I also doubt that they'll delve too deeply into the effects of the ml changing the timeline in this story, but I was just interested in the similarity and also because this story unlocked a past memory within this forgetful brain haha xD
Interesting concept. This is fun to think about xD

Ah- I am reminded of a oneshot story that's similar to this, but it involved brothers. It was one of the times where I actually felt sad and quite disturbed despite the interesting toy concept. Same bluetooth toy and same scared reaction by the uke; even same 'ghost' reasoning. This will most likely end on a happier note tho, so I hope this overwrites that scenario from the other manga in my memory.

Ahhhh!!! This made me realize that this is basically a story about the parents of a future ml with a sad background. The type where the ml's mom dies or gets sick and the dad doesnt care about his son at all. Oh wow, what an interesting perspective. Sad but interesting. I can't believe my brain just clicked about it just now.
Just wanted to put a reminder that this story deals with people who are mainly driven by their emotions.
So Itoshi's words & behaviour may seem contradictory and illogical at the moment, but he is just truly backed in a corner where he is forced to face his inner past demons. Sadly, he cannot communicate well due to this, so mc is taking the full brunt of his outbursts.
Once everything calms down, hopefully he is stable enough to actually communicate about compromises/solutions. Also, talk to your girlfriend about your past!!! Maaaaannnnn, he is so frustrating, but his actions make sense so dang it...
I really love how the author portrayed him. It's also fun seeing how emotional characters can be portrayed in a story since it helps me understand their way of thinking a bit more.
