Haha true that.. I see things through a Darumi-lense because I'm also a girl, and a menhera, and I relate to a little too much of what she's said so it's easier for me to understand her mindset. It feels weird to me to paint her as a normal caring girl because I feel like it erases a lot of her. She's a lot of things at once and that's what makes her great.

I can see the facade she puts up as a default mood and it's hard to get out of, even around people she's comfortable with. Even if she promises to be herself around Takumi, which usually means being more subdued, that manic side is still a part of her. I can't see her letting her walls down unless she's under extreme distress, which was the entirety of Retsnom. She's emotionally intelligent but kind of retarded when it comes to anything else, so it's hard for me to see her adjust to a normal life when there's a lot wrong with her and she's fine with that. Even her emotional intelligence barely comes into play because of how.. superficial a lot of her relationships seem. It's her having mindless fun but never seeing the need to make a meaningful connection unless she sees someone going down the same road as her, someone she can relate to.

But that's just how I see things, from someone with the same relationship habits she seems to have (right down to lusting over girls I idolize and harassing guys because I don't think it's that serious)
