miracles are real but they are performed by human beings thank you cuetie scans
iirc ayako’s reaction in the original manga was partially an artifact of her characterisation still being a little unsteady early on and was almost toned down a little bit for the remake but taiyaki thought it was too funny to change and i’m glad it stayed basically the same, it’s an illuminating character moment and asuka and her still have their fun back and forth
