A lot of internal monologue is being cut. It can’t be fully shown so it makes very little sense. The only reason I know what’s going on is due to the novel. Like, there’s a reason the Esper picked up the phone. It wasn’t to simply be “freaky” or exhibitionistic. It was his way of publicly claiming the guide as “his”, and so no one would doubt that they are in fact in a relationship (iirc).

Tried reading this yesterday before going to bed and I was tired af. Which usually isn’t a problem when I read stories but I couldn't understand anything!! my brain couldn’t take in any information , it was like everything was mushed together, pages was missing and it just gave me a headache lol I reread chapter 30 like 3 times yesterday. Woke up today and decided to read it again and now I’m so confused on why I was confused yesterday
