Talking about the chapter

What a name the chapter had. :sweat_smile:

So Yayako is (seems to me) stepping up her bullying. At least Tina managed to come to rescue Hanabi, and thankfully it made Hanabi try to rescue herself. There is strength in numbers and also sometimes it is easier to go to the help of a friend. Although I wish Hanabi gets to a place where she feels more comfortable helping herself too. It would be good for her.

I also tried to figure out the 夜カフェス, how they came up with that name and loved in instantly like it meant something. I didn’t bother last chapter, thinking maybe someone would explain it eventually. Doesn’t seem like it. So I think maybe it is a combo of カフェ and フェス, the later being a short way to say festival. Does anyone know if that is what they were going for?

That was my assumption too.
