“I have to play it off fake and dramatic because otherwise I feel so transparent I can’t stand it.”
This is so real. Sometimes we have to pretend that we don’t like things as much as we do so we don’t feel stupid

Such a comfort read ahh

This chapter was so good ahhhh
“When I think of the amount of poise and self control my mother had … in holding back the floodgates of what was inside of her … and smiling for us. That kind of strength is something I don’t possess.”

Crying about Tina and Shinsan
Also screaming about Nao and Masaki - they’re so dorky and embarrassing and weird and I love them so much

Screaming, crying, now I’m gonna be thinking about Masaki and Nao all day
“If you want to be here, isn’t that enough? [what am I even saying? I sound so lame.] I’ll … I’ll rote t that place with you.”

Also, I am 100% behind Tina and Shinichi getting to know each other more
And poor, sweet Masaki, he’s so shy- but I do love that we get his inner monologue so he’s adding to the conversation but he’s just too shy to say things out loud, even in Japanese
Crying, I love these kids
