I really don't know if there is a right answer to the whole deal between Aiko's parents. But I have to say, though I kinda feel bad for feeling this way, I think this was the first time I actively felt pissed at Aiko's mom. For starters, I wonder whether her desire to care for her father is due to her genuinely being worried about him and wanting to care for him, or to her guilt for not being able to be there for her mother when she passed away. Either way, at what point is she finally gonna start worrying about her own daughter? When does she decide she isn't going to let Aiko get dragged through the mud anymore? And perhaps most of all, when's she going to stop letting Aiko blame herself for hurting her when Aiko has done dick to hurt anybody and has been hurt multiple times by the two of them?
Again, I feel bad for feeling this way, because it is unfortunate that her father's in ailing health, and I understand her attachment to her job and the people she cares for, and hell, I understand that she feels bad about not being able to take care of Aiko. But it's just that after all this time and after all the suffering that Aiko's been through because of the two of them, when does she become her top priority?
