Hello anon!! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!! 💕 It’s really interesting for me to read your perspective - especially because your feelings on Hotaru and Sakuya were so different from my own! (FWIW, I also tend to envision MC as her own person - but she just seems so much older than Hotaru, yanno?)
Regarding future character growth - I also really hope they are able to show how all these characters change and develop in future stories! One thing that makes me sad is that apparently SLBP skipped an event between the last ninja event and this one. So any events/reasons that led to that moment with MC yelling about death in Saku’s route - who knows if they’ve covered it already and we just don’t know? ^_^
