Story comments, spoilers for this week's reading abound

THANK YOU, FINALLY!!!

Aiko is gonna talk to Hanabi’s (and Tina’s?) teacher about bullying, or have floated the possibility. I’m not entirely sure if it was already set she’s gonna come or if Hanabi (and Tina) are supposed to arrange a meeting with their teachers. I didn’t quite 100% comprehend that part of the discussion.

Finally an adult is doing what they are supposed to.

Well, let us go back to the start of the chapter. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:, and the fight with Tina. This is such a typical at home fight. Like usually we’re so in our own heads, and not recognizing when our behaviors irritate others, only when their behavior irritates us.

But I’m still miffed that Tina utterly snubbed Hanabi because she was irritated. What an awful way to treat someone. Obviously Hanabi could have spoken up earlier so as to nip the trouble in the bud (but honestly most adults put off those kinds of discussions too), but she didn’t treat Tina badly. Only Tina did that, but it seems that Tina will get away with that behavior…

(Which might just mean it’ll have to repeat again and be a plot point again to resolve. :nauseated_face:)

I’m looking forward to next chapter to see how the reduce the bullying initiative goes.
