Rascal Does Not Dream of... [Light Novel] Book 5: a Sister Home Alone

i read this fully knowing it would make me cry having seen the anime multiple times, and you'd think knowing what was coming ahead of time would have blunted its power, but it just never does.

i love these characters so much and i just want them to be happy but i know part of why i love them is because of how they handle being put in Situations, but i just want them to stop being put in Situations, but that isn't how stories work, and ugh i'm just babbling now. i love these books.
