I've lost a friend/family on a similar scenario. It was the 1st time I've lost someone with great pain and somehow frustration cause I couldn'tdo anything. It was sudden. His sister went to our house to pick me up cause even after 4 days I couldn't process what happened. I couldn't cry but rather i vomit with empty stomach. Her sister said "He was happy you treated him like a family, you have to say your goodbye to him personaly, please visit his wake." I did went but I didn't look him inside the coffin cause I don't want to remember him dead. He was a great brother to us. I will remember his smile and happy voice forever. He will be in my heart no matter where I go.
Sorry to share something that not so related to the manga but I just felt Stephan and Charlottes emotions.

To the uploaders thank you for your hardwork.
I just wanna say this story is kind of a diphoria - its my own word being in between of Dilemma and Euphoria. Basically desire and love, wants and dislikes. A relationship does varies from person to person and we are always be in a middle of compromising a lot of things to make it work.
I truly salute those who are in a relationship whatever degree it might be, bf/gf, marriage or casual cause it takes so much effort to be in one. But for people who've chosen to have peace of mind by not having a relationship might look like a coward decision for some but in reality its not, its about choosing what they think work for them. Love is not always romance, love a complex feelings of being in a state of peace wether you are in a relationship or not.
For the past years maybe she fought hard for her love but a mature woman knows what's best for her future. I would do the same. I rather cry for sometime than crying my whole life.
