this chapter especially gave me big "Run Away With Me, Girl" vibes. it's so painful and bittersweet. The look of shock on Mitsue's face when she see's how obviously still in love with her Kiyoko is kills me, and the desperate plea to try out sex one time because "you aren't married yet" hurts me so much.
You can really see how Mitsue got ground down over the decades in this chapter. Compare the outburst of anger and feelings of betrayal when she finds out about the marriage in this chapter to the barely whispered "do you remember our promise" from after the divorce and you can see just how much she's changed over the years.
It's seriously heartbreaking.
edit: I guess it isn't really bittersweet, just kinda bitter now that I think about it
