That was amazing, Sato's charisma and manipulation skills were on fucking point. Once again, someone jumped at her, with some sort of twisted love and once again she intercepted it smoothly, tho this time, with a promise of love; exactly what she needed to say to get her to stop. She made her go all putty in her hands, and set Suu specific standards for her love: do not seek to become me. Having tasted what it was she thinks she wanted, Suu can't go back to not having that anymore, she has completely submitted to Sato. That was great, gj Sato, gj. It was interesting and exciting to see, very different from the usually violent threats/promises of ruin and destruction she dishes out, but it was low key the same thing. If you do that, I won't be able to love you. Game. Set. Match.
Hmm, I haven't given the aunt much thought, I don't really remember whenever she was mentioned, I don't think it was much, just the sweet feeling/taste of love or something lmao. Now I'm high key sure the aunt abused her, or at least majorly fucked her up in some way, and identified it as 'love'. I dunno why memories of the aunt is what surfaced during Suu's monologue. Someone was legit telling her creepass bullshit and her only thought was her aunt's words, echoing over and over again in her head.
I didn't follow the side plot of this chapter really well, mainly cus I forgot the faces of most unimportant characters, but I suppose that we might be able to see more of Sato's old address, like, what the fuck's up with the aunt. I wonder if she's dead. Doesn't seem like Sato could escape her if she's still alive tbh, the aunt's like this ominous entity in her mind. I don't think Sato would be able to rest easy, if the aunt could still come back into her life.
Man, they really won't be doing their vows for a while. Sato's gonna get consumed by her bitterness pretty soon, I wonder what that'll do to her. Ahh Shio, wtf happened to you :/ I thought for sure that Sato would see the ugly mom drawing, but I guess something else fucked up first. If it's something physical, would she even take her to the hospital? Or is it too risky?
