I was surprised that I found Erika to be much more relatable protagonist than Haru but I also feel exactly like this whenever I try to do something for friends. It shouldn't feel cringe to do nice things for people or try to cheer them up!

...I also think that Haru getting sad because she had to put her deadname and AGAB on forms at work was a super great depiction of one of the most annoying microaggressions I've faced as a trans woman. Not a fan of the person who decided that those things are relevant all the time (they're not, especially the latter!).
