I think its obvious hina regrets stealing but still feels upset that meari cant see her side of things, she helped her make money. She kept her as safe as she could from creepy men, then all of a sudden meari is making BANK off a woman for really almost nothing meanwhile hina is prostituting herself for love n to not be alone. If it was meari in that situation she would react the same way hina did lets be real, maybe not stealing but most def jealous, thats why they are friends, because they match in that way, although meari WANTS to get better but hina cant n doesn’t want to yet. On top of that its obvious Hina wouldnt ask for mearis mamakastu money since shes the one who got her into the katsu stuff in the first place, its guilt. Also meari trying to avoid the topic when they meet and pretend as if nothing is wrong meanwhile they BOTH have been torn up about it is pretty scary, ignoring conflict doesn’t make it go away. They both have the right to be angry for different reasons but both (mostly hina) went about it in the wrong way.






im glad hes shown to be suffering. like yeah u murdered people u should feel guilty even if youve changed, sorry! tho im glad he didnt run back away cause like taichi said, they n their families dont know who killed them so atp it would jus be more selfish instead of trying to put back into the community. he better be volunteering or picking litter or some shit lmfaooo, taichi built different i wouldve ran away FAST esp since he raped him but its fiction so of course it went that way, u kinda have to suspend belief of reality to read this but thats kinda its charm too.
