Kou's reaction to Hanako and Teru's mutual hate is so funny to me he looks like a stupid bug
They bombed near my friend's house, 50 martyrs.
lowkey how does tumblr work bc it seems cool and iβd like to use jt but idk howβ¦ ππβΉοΈ
I see a lot of people saying that Aoi was drugged and that is why she stabbed Akane. Which I agree...
... and I don't.
Hakubo's reaction to her compliance is interesting. He doesn't seem very keen to trust her (maybe because Aoi is very similar to Sumire and he knows what a handful Sumire is lol) but in the end he does.
(Look at Aoi's eyes and how devoid of light they are compared to Nene's)
At the same time, I do think she was drugged but I don't think it had the same effect it had on Nene.
(if anything I do think Sumire wasn't drugged when she was sacrificed, or as Aoi, it didn't have the full effect on her)
On the other hand, it seemed to have some effect on Aoi, which I think only fed on her insecurities.
Her self-loathing and subsequently, on her hatred for Akane.
It fed into her frustrations, her helplessness when it came to her inability to express herself, while also giving her power she never had in her life.
(Look at her, she's so powerdrunk i love her )
And drugged or not, she had made up her mind. Came to peace about her fate as an offering. And here is Akaneβ it front of her, a supernatural β something he had been hiding from her since gods know when, as had Nene. He had abandoned her in exchange for power over time and had let their relationship grow cold (sure, he confesses to her but she doesn't trust those words as much as she did when they were kids)
And now? Now when she's part of the action and finally in the knownβ one of them? Now he refuses to accept her decision.
He's fighting her. Fighting to take her back when she doesn't want to go backβ
So she stabs him.
She's not drugged anymore here, yet she doesn't hesitate to hit him where it hurts the most (after she herself patched up his wound).
The stabbing was Aoi. Drugged as she was, it was her intention to hurt him the way he had hurt her by keeping things from her.
Maybe not to kill him and maybe she didn't realise he could die from it, because of the drug or because of the heat of the moment. Or maybe she wanted him dead. Because she wanted herself dead.
And Aoi is selfishβ if he's so adamant to take her back, she will not hesitate to give him a piece of her mind first (now that he had seen the worst of her)
and what if i said peak bisexuality reference

Funny how Hanako believed(believes?) that Nene could just eventually forget him if she got the chance to age and that she'd be able to grow up and lead a normal life and marry some normal guy and have kids.
I think that boat sailed a long time ago. I'm sure Nene still has those desires, to find love and get married and wear that pretty white dress and have a familyβbut I don't think she wants those things unless there's the possibility she could have all those things with Hanako. Which isn't possible, because as of right now, he's dead as a doornail and can't leave the school grounds, and he's been like that for over 50 years give or take. She can't have those things with him; he shouldn't even be an option for her to fall in love with but he is and she has.
So priorities shift, she becomes a little more honest with herself, and Nene seems quite willing to throw away those wistful dreams of a young teenage girl, as long as it means getting to stay with Hanako.
She found love, and maybe it's imperfect and maybe he's definitely not Mr. Perfect, but she loves him. Enough to accept the fact he has blood on his hands; that he's dead; he can be selfish, and insensitive, and possessive, and closed off. We've yet to see the breaking point of Nene's infinite patience and love for Hanako.
So her getting to have a normal life and grow up and become this average woman who goes on dates and gets married to some guy isn't exactly for her anymore. If she can't have that with Hanako, then I don't think Nene wants it at all. Remember, Nene wanted to go to the moon with Hanako; she wants to have the impossible and she wants to have it not just granted by Hanako, but have it with him, too.
The only reason she went to "the moon" by herself is because he essentially forced her to go without him. Hanako still thinks Nene wants to have that future of hers, even if it costs him, even if she ends up hating him, or forgetting about him.
But Nene first and foremost wants to know if Hanako feels the same way she does about him: she loves him. The rest can be figured out, but all she knows right now is that she loves Hanako and that's all that really matters. Even her impending death has taken a backseat to her feelings for him.
