Ai to Ao no Kyoukai - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - Float. 6

That fish be cutting onions, I tell ya. Each character has a certain aspect that I relate to. Aiko has some baggage that I want to know more of. A teacher and her inability or refusal of romance and intimacy.
 
I don't think her sister was looking down on her. I think she was just misguided in trying to help her.
 
Family members can be the worst sometimes lol
It's good that they made up, but I don't think I'd be able to ever see my sister the same way again if she straight up told me she's embarrassed of me and that I'm not good enough to date anyone...

Aiko is too good of a person. What she said wasn't anywhere near as hurtful (in my opinion) and she still felt like the only one in the wrong even though her sister was the one that wouldn't let the conversation die despite knowing how uncomfortable Aiko was.
 
@jak She perhaps wasn't thinking of herself as looking down on her. But what do you call it when you're so sure you know best that you tell someone what to do not just once or twice but repeatedly, eventually adding in downright insults, even though you know they hate the subject and you're not telling them anything they don't know? Clearly, you must be better and smarter, they must be worse and dumb not to be doing what you tell them. You don't do that to people you actually respect as your equal.

That girl should give her head some serious shaking. I'm with @mukade on this. If I were in that position I'd be hoping I'd manage to shut her down relatively gently before she really got going, because if she managed to say all that we wouldn't be talking again any time soon unless her apology was pretty grovelling and her guarantee not to disrespect me like that again extremely believable.
 
She said some genuinely terrible and severely cruel things to MC and then the author played it off like they were both just as in the wrong...no screw that.

She was told she was embarrassing and should conform to how her sister dates/goes about relationships while also bringing up the man who hurt her in the first place? Fuck off with that bullshit, this is judgey behaviour DESIGNED to hurt someone that family gets away with but it's not healthy behaviour to allow someone to talk to you like this.

First and foremost you don't just get over a whole heap of self esteem issues and relationship issues through sheer force of will, then you have asshole family picking at the scab and purposely bringing up the person who traumatised you as if severe shock, pain and realisation of long it's been will make you suddenly want to date again? I for sure wouldn't be talking to someone for quite a while if they spoke to me like this.

Ugh. I hate it so much.
 
ngl i feel like most people with boundaries would've just ended the relationship as soon as she came out with the "you're an embarrassment", like Hana is super lucky Aiko is still willing to let her in her life after that
