based on this chapter alone I can tell that Tsuzumi-chan has more walls up than she lets on and compared to Subaru I can feel that her little sister's history affected her more than Subaru herself especially with the reaction she made by the "boys" being mentioned. It's a good comparison to make with her dad because even though he's also shocked by the ironically "good" news and was uneasy about it, he was compromising his feelings for Subaru's sake (it's probably the first time she was this outspoken in front of them) but I know it's a different case from one sibling to another. That's most likely why Tsuzumi is also very close with Kaoruko (heck even with her family) she most definitely felt responsible for what happened and Kaoruko was her little sister's saving grace. I can feel where the narrative is heading. I like this though!! overcoming traumas are one thing for those who experienced it but also another thing for someone who was able to witness it unfold and I mean every little thing, Subaru's struggles—her cries for help, her fear, and her hopelessness. I bet that Tsuzumi absorbed those either positively or negatively.
