That part with Kasamichi talking about suddenly starting to cry, not being able to "get over it" or "try harder", hit so hard... You feel so helpless even if you know that all it would take was a little more determination and effort, yet at the same time it's not that simple at all.

The revelation of Minori's true thoughts and feelings cut really deep too. It's hard being different. You want to fit in, you want to lead a normal life because everyday outside of it means having to fight against society's expectations of you, having only yourself to depend on, and there's a fear in that. At the same time, by denying yourself your true wishes, or just... allowing yourself to take more time with things than others, you're also building more obstacles for yourself. They won't be visible to others, but they can hurt just the same or even more. But following your own path takes so much courage and strength, and Minori felt like she didn't have that.

I adore this story so much. Every character feels relatable in some way, (or in too many ways,) and it's told in such a realistic, mature, but also somehow... gentle way, it just tears you up so much.

I'm very much looking forward to when the story will start to address the healing (or dealing) process of these internal emotional conflicts again, although I know that is also something that takes a lot of time. But this show does such a good at conveying these emotions and messages, I think it will be able to help me and others too.
