"Watch this, friends. You can actually pinpoint the second when her mind rips in half." XD
Seriously though, there's a lot to take in here. From the definition of Unbound (a term you should probably get used to, as you'll be hearing it a lot going forward), to Nara's personal stance on its legitimacy, to Chiaki realizing that her reality sounds absurd to people. The idea of an Unbound may be a known concept in this world, but it seems it's not a well understood or widely believed one from the sounds of it.
And yeah, Nara comes off pretty harsh, but be honest: if you met a person who kept insisting they were from another world - minutes after meeting them - how readily would you believe them? It's quite the statement to make, after all. Especially without any hard proof. Do you take them at face value right away, or do you assume it's the setup to a weird prank or game or something?
Or imagine the other way around. In the hypothetical scenario where you're in Chiaki's shoes right now, what would you say? What can you say?
Redge seemed to believe in Unbounds, but I wonder how common that is...
Anyway, I hope you've enjoyed this week's pages giving a lot to think about. Next week, we'll shift gears a bit and have some fun. :)
I’m sorry. I probably should’ve told you more gently. I was just thrown off by your question, and felt it was better I explain as directly as possible. You’re likely going to meet a lot of people who were directly affected.
All the more reason I hoped you’d stay home and rest for a few days. I know you’re young, but it’s strange to see even someone your age completely unaware of what happened back then.
It’s good that you’ll be set up in my classroom, though, given you don’t remember anything. This way you can get acquainted with our history and customs and-
Just please do me a favor: if anyone asks why you don’t know basic things, just say it’s amnesia, for now. I think that’s going to be easier for folks to accept than “you came from another world.”
