Seiichi finally get some answers (though not justification) for his mother’s whole deal. 

Oshimi is so good at showing us how the character is feeling through their perspective

this is one of my favorites from this series: so many wtf moments, weird imagery, questions i have, moments i realize why she is the way she is, moments i realize why seiichi is the way he  is, even moments i realize i’m to the mom and im not sure what to do with that information. 

looking forward to reading the series again in the future to gain a deeper understanding of the odd mother-son dynamic going on. 

for critical thinking purposes…
- is the scene where seiichi sees his mom topless and standing over him have any correlation to when she had to be naked for the theater?
