For those commenting with complaints about the FL being spineless. Of course she is spineless and helpless. She tried to take her own life and was 'saved' by the ML, and imprinted on him as her saviour. She was emotionally and psychologically dependent on him and revered him as a godly figure who was reaching his hand down to save her. People in those situations ARE helpless because they are so controlled by their abuser that they simply cannot act.
Don't hate on her, or the way she was written. This is how emotionally manipulated and controlled people act. It is part of the control.
@MilhouseIL -- You wrote in your review "there are some very confronting scenes to do with pedophilia within the…
The implication of a crime happening is worth a mention for viewers who might find this disturbing, in my opinion what they show is enough to be confronting for people. The way the character speaks to the child in the scene is also very aggressive, and the sound editing implies that worse things are happening whilst the two police characters are watching.
I also said that it happens WITHIN the last 15 minutes of the movie, not that it goes on for 15 minutes. 1 minute is more than enough to make it known that people will see something disturbing.
I appreciate your efforts to make it so people are aware of what they are getting into, and what they might see. With content like this I think it is best to be on the side of caution.
Started nice but went downhill really fast. And it is a real pitty as the diagnosis and advice from the doctors…
Medical professionals make the worst patients. Having the textbook knowledge and experience in mental health can makes it more difficult to independently and objectively assess your own problems. Of course it was turned up for the purposes of the drama, but I believe it is entirely reasonable that the MC would have had the types of delusions, denial, and inability to see what was happening to her for what it was. You aren't protected from falling into the abyss just because your job is helping people who are already in it.
There's something I'm not quite sure I understand: does Kaede loves Moe? In the final episode it's not clear because…
I read it as part of his job to 'love' her. In the sense that, to be a good host you have to be seen as being authentic despite the obvious context of it being a business exchange. It's easy to be authentic when it's something you actually feel, so a 'good' host I imagine rides the line between authentic affection and love, and manipulating the relationship to extract as much money as they can. His love for her was only accessible when money was either directly involved, or he thought the interaction would be financially beneficial for her in the future.
