I hate Robin. All my homies hate Robin.
Ah, chapter 32. I am glad I was spoiled and knew of it's existence beforehand, because at least I could steal myself. This series does not shy away from certain things, but this took a dark turn rather quickly.
Like, the obvious thing is that Robin is disgusting. But there is so much more we don't know about him. I really wonder if the memories Haruki had of him were real, or if he maybe left some out. I don't see a person like him being all nice to children and then a few years later being a rapist? He just felt icky from the moment he appeared in the earlier chapters. And then there is the face he makes upon seeing Kiruko. Like, what was with that?
Why was he angry/annoyed talking about the doctor? What does he want anyway? He was also distraught over the death of Mimihime so... what, does he also want another body, super powers, or something?
And what about that Kiriko's memory Kiruko saw? Was there something between Robin and her in the past? I don't want to know but I also do! Did he hurt her?
Also, more than this incident it's important how the author will handle the next chapters. How will Kiruko deal with all that happened to her. I will not say she needed it(no one does) but this is a story and not a real life, and this will serve a certain purpose. We are at a turnpoint. You can see it already: Kiruko is not Haruki, she is not just Haruki and Kiriko blended together either. Kiruko is Kiruko. Chapter 34, I mean their talk on the riverbank, was great (tho I still wish she would throw in also that fucking jacket, I cannot stand to see that shit anymore).
I love Maru. What is new. I love that he will throw a lifeguard float to a man whom he threw into the water a moment ago. I loved how he cornered Robin and did not say a word. It was more powerful that way. I will just say that Kiruko untying the rope so quickly felt a little silly. I was also disappointed Kiruko that stopped Maru. Despite me believing she stopped him for his sake, it's sad she did not use better words so that Maru would understand who is important to her: he, not Robin (or I hope I got this right, I would be really angry if she even after this cared for Robin).
Btw something interesting happened at the facility in the past, at last. Tho chapter 36 came for me and I was not prepared to be sad for Shiro and Mimihime again. For some reason I have more feels about them about Maru's parents for example, they are too bland.
Did I mention that I hate that old grandma?
