So it seems Mutsuki is likely mixed-race, based on the flashback. Mom was light-skinned, Dad seemed to be dark-skinned. So that probably added into the messed-up dynamics, because there's a lot of negative attitudes towards such families/children in Japan.

But man, I guess a lot of Mutsuki's submissive/advoidant behaviors make sense now. And the "Will Lie Again", since Mutsuki is falling back into that behavior pattern of lying to appease an abuser.

Ishida never ceases to amaze and chill me with how well he understands the minds of victims. It really makes me wonder about his own homelife, that he has such a grasp of those particulars of behavior and mentality. Either that, or he studied Psychology in school. (He talks about his sisters, so he seems to have a good relationship with them at least?)
