Reading this comment section is so fun, the human mind works in mysterious ways indeed. The time analysis was good, I agree with it. But what about the parents? Ok, mom probably cheated and dad just left, as if breaking off with a partner means breaking off with your own child, even if somehow the kid is a "bastard". When grandmother died, where was mom? When Aya was found, where were the parents? In chapter 3, Erika said Aya was interrogated, how come we only know about the parents in chapter 14? Zero mention about the parents after Aya's reappearance is weird. To me, this Koto drama right now is secondary, and I am more interested about the parents. Still love Erika and hope she can move on from Koto, this girl has no appeal c'mon
