This could've been written better. The angst feels off because I don't feel like Setsuna would ever act like this. If I can't buy the characters in that situation than I can't invest into the story.

Ikr, I feel like Ayumu and Setsuna swapped personalities??
I think maybe it would have been better if Ayumu was the one who see the red string and her soulmate it's Yuu, but Yuu loves Setsuna

my guy setsuna's instant decision whenever anything bad happens is to isolate herself, if people remember when she disbanded the club, left the club (shioriko) and disbanded the club (the anime version)

i think her resorting to disregarding her emotions so others can pursue their own passions is very on brand with her personality
