To its credit, that wasn’t quite as repulsive as I thought it was going to be.

I hadn’t considered using a barrage of emotional whiplash to disguise the fact that you’re retconning your characters.

Issho’s explanation would’ve justified failing them. It doesn’t justify expelling them.

And Akane would’ve known that.
