Can I just say, I understand how its important for Mafuyu's closure that he was dragged to the concert however, in actuality, this is also a step back for Mafuyu's personal growth
This comes with acknowledging what Mafuyu's main issue actually is which the lack of control he has with his own life. Its evident that from the very beginning, everyone had forced him to take certain choices; where when he voices his concerns, it's forcefully shut by others
The only place where he was given priority and his thoughts and ideas were given priority was within 'Given', and we can see his growth as he asserts his wants
Consciously he realizes he's valued and that his voice mattered. Ritsuka as well takes notice and addresses this to Mafuyu, it was a boost of confidence
It was until things started to move rapidly once again, triggering Mafuyu to go back to how he was before. The same cycle repeats, and now we see him forced into taking a decision he didnt necessarily need to take right at that moment
Im not saying its the most horrible thing, growth isnt a linear trajectory after all and everything happening is in fact a common occurrence; but it's also an occurrence frequently forgotten. For sure, Mafuyu's story hadnt ended last chapter, it's only yet another beginning
