#next to normal

"Unresolved loss can lead to depression" but it's Kanade's despair after losing her dad and how it drives her to commit to composing until it's the only reason she believes she has to live

"Fear of loss to anxiety" but it's Mizuki struggling with whether to come out to the rest of N25 because of her past experiences of being shunned and always having people leave even when they do accept her (i.e. Rui), bonus points if it includes her moment after the rooftop scene in Mizu2

Guys so you know how West End Henry is Thai (and Filipino and Malay but that’s besides the point) cause Jack O is? And before you say something for what I’m about to say next I know how he’s always been named Henry (and Connor) before West End but let me have this ok. This only applies to West End Henry.

In Thailand, official names are notoriously long, so people go by a short nickname—and a ton of them just pick western words or names (like Ice, Prince, or Bonus). so what if Henry's real name is super long and 'Henry' is just his nickname.

* I’M AWARE THAI PEOPLE CAN DEFINITELY HAVE WESTERN NAMES BUT THIS WAS JUST A FUN THOUGHT I HAD 😭
