I really want Connie to lose for once because she is a narcissistic spoiled brat, if you really view the woman as your mother then you wouldn’t ask her to choose between her kids. Also she doesn't even realize her so called mother is actually ill and mentally exhausted. I feel like Ayano should be the stronger opponent because A.shes the protagonist B. she has lost and trained to better herself C. She’s had more growth as a character.
