basically a conversation on : self hate, self gaslighting, insecurity, jealousy & inferority complex (that turns into a false sense of superiority)
didn't love the characters, but i certainly felt bad for them, and for the way society transformed their very soul
a lot of heavy themes, a lot of psychological issues portrayed, and an interesting dive into the fragility of the human psyche
× yuriko was basically objectified from the way she was born, and thus accepted her deeply unfortunate situation as her essence, the reason of her existence
x her sister was so, so insecure god, qu'elle a dirigé cette haine envers sa soeur. i hated her behavior but its like i get you
× same for kazue, miss gurl turned her inferiority complex to some extreme haughtiness, never seen someone gaslight themselves this hard
its like, sure these characters are deeeeply flawed, all of em, but i really can't bring myself to hate them. si elles avaient vécu dans des conditions familiales & sociales différentes, im sure they wouldn't be the same
and don't even get me started w the men in this book god, rotten disgusting vile THROW EM IN THE NEAREST TRASH CAN RIGHT FUCKING NOW, ALL OF EM
^ btw who killed kazue, or did they go back to the apt & he killed her ???
^ & i hateeeed zhang's monologue, like sir nobody cares your grandpa had 5 goats shut up
