    I appreciate the discussion but

    Minori had a severe case of NPD

    is a huge stretch ngl. Reality is usually not so extreme, and this anime has been very realistic thus far.

    Regardless, we should be seeing Makio’s sister / Asa’s mother (Minori is her name huh?) fleshed out over the rest of the episodes. Would be interesting to find out what she is like beyond Makio’s perspective.

      I recommend you rewatch all 4 episodes from Asa’s perspective. Child neglect, and the loneliness she feels, were contributing factors of Minori’s lack of sympathy NPDs are unable to exhibit.

      This last episode, Asa clearly recollected her mother emotionally neglected her feelings. Unlike Makio who consoled her at the end. Makio acknowledged her feelings of wanting to standout, even if both mean different things to them: Makio here means as an artist, not Asa’s need to socially connect with peers.
