ikr it was really weird how much she doesn't care or wasn't conscientious at all
yup, hate her - I also don't like the tone these stories have where the MCs should feel happy that their piece of shit mothers who abandoned them are happy. No, we need to get away from that attitude - it's completely fine to dislike someone who wronged you and not want them to be happy, just don't waste your life obsessing over it.
I absolutely despise the mother. The father is an automatic hate, dude can not be redeemed.
But the mother, she left Hozumi to fend for himself. She left, and when she met him again, she doesn't even feel an ounce of guilt, no regret, nothing. Girl just said, I know it sucks there, but you'll be fine soon, so bye.
She left him there in that place knowing full well it's a hellhole while she be looking happy leaving, and just said BYEBYE so cheerfully, like she just left him at daycare.
