It's just a long rant, If you don't want to read just know I didn't like the ending ╥﹏╥
I can empathize with the character Miki, given my personal experience of having an older sibling who closely resembles me and the subsequent comparisons made by educators and peers, both younger and older than myself, during my school years. It's worth noting that my own circumstances differed markedly from Miki's in that my parents were not pieces of shit.
The ending of the story left me profoundly disheartened due to what I perceived as a lack of realism. If I'd discovered that someone had been manipulating me as a means to pursue a romantic relationship with my sister or to serve as her replacement, I would find such a discovery deeply distressing, and I would no longer associate with that person. While reading the story's conclusion, I was shaking with anger, and it left a lasting impact on me. It is my opinion that the author may not have had firsthand experience with sibling dynamics, as the ending appeared somewhat disconnected from the emotional complexities that often accompany such relationships.
The story should've had the characters parting ways, allowing them to explore new romantic interests or to embrace lives of solitude and self-discovery.
