This series is great because the characters seem so real, in all their messiness. Like the part where Sumika waffles back and forth between having the talk with Kanoko, and constantly re-evaluating whether her actions are right based upon what everyone around her says.
She can’t help being empathetic towards others. It’s probably because we don’t often see flawed, stoic, and empathetic characters on screen being placed front and centre often. In this case, Sumika was probably moved by Kanoko’s willingness to suppress all those feelings, and reasoned rightly from the way Kanoko was speaking and acting that it is extraordinarily unhealthy.
Being so hyperfocused on Kanoko and inventing an entire unfolding tragedy that may occur if workplace romance takes place, yet missing the part where Yano’s confession was real, and Nene recovered from her own workplace romance, is just the kind of mess we should expect from someone who is emotionally compromised.
