Wow, this made me sad and uncomfy. Poor Katekyo.😞
The thing that strikes me the most about this is Katekyo's need to conform and to be 'normal' by society's standards. It's just heartbreaking to see him go against his own wishes to please everyone else and fulfill the 'duties' he believes he has because of cultural programming. (and personally, the grandchildren thing is grating on me the most; nobody is entitled to grandchildren ffs ghghhgshsjsl)
And though Lara's comments and questions made me super uncomfortable, it was refreshing (and surprising!) to see Katekyo turn the tables on her. You managed to pinpoint the double standards and the hypocrisy surrounding men's and women's past experiences when it comes to dating. Plus, Lara's reaction to having the same level of nastiness thrown back at her was spot on. 👌
It was an emotional experience overall, so great job! I sincerely hope Katekyo finds happiness on his own terms in the future. 💜
