And this episode leaves me twisting. *slight nausea IRL
I was fine seeing the perilous parts- Karada got a crash course in cold-hard-world 101, narrowly escaping twice. But- I was totally expecting Karada to reunite and go back home, and have to story explore the interaction and fallout between those three characters over this event -
when she runs away again. ??
Sure she wants to be independant, but it's very selfish and inconsiderate of her to run away like this. I think her problem now is both a lack of confidence and a deep self-pity- so deep she can only imagine what she is feeling and has no concept of the torture she is putting Hiro through by making him worry like this.
The preview looks boring, it seems like the next episode will be an amino side story and no more progress among the main three characters.
This makes me wonder if Karada is ever coming back home
The city is far too dangerous for her. I can easily see her falling prey to the city and ending up hurt or dead. The serious nature of this show makes it a definite possibility. (I can't distract myself by being sure there will be a happy ending.) Whats worse is that karada seems to have come to a decision- she said "I'm sorry" to Hiro face to face as she ran away- This means she has no intention of going back home
Does that mean she has consigned herself to do what a person with no legal status or money does to survive in the city (basically enter the flesh market) ?? Is bidding a proper and safe farewell to Hiro-nii more painful than throwing away her entire life?
Has Hiro's quiet, brooding, and reticent nature contributed to this? Perhaps if he had smiled more, and told Karada how happy he was to be with her more often, would that have prevented her from failing to this insecurity?
I have no idea where this story is going, but I have a bad feeling about this.
