"If we lose what bound us together, what will be left?"
This volume focuses on loneliness, guilt, and repressing feelings. How relatable. The characters are going through a rough patch, but I have confidence they can work it out. They need some of Kaede's forthrightness, but it's tough for them.

I understand some ppl being irritated with the lack of communication, but to me it makes sense. If she doesn't think her feelings are valid, then confronting the person about it feels doubly guilty, because you are subjecting them to something you don't even think is fair. And so she'd rather stuff down those feelings hoping to eradicate them, but that doesn't really work. I've definitely felt similar to Konatsu, so I feel for her.
