This is the kind of situation where I feel like the right thing to do is not to go along with that plan but to find another way forward. It might mean going against what Hana wants in the short term, but in the long term it means that she's still around.

Thanks for the understanding, anyway. I'm glad we can respectfully disagree while still hearing out each other's unique perspectives.

Would like to hear why she'd be not ok to be given a chance to enjoy worldly thing (outside of how it's technically a broken promise). I also would wonder if someone trying to talk out to someone who is depressed enough to consider suicide, would be a bad thing to deny what they want.

Aguilera is definitely the kind of person who trusts and forgives too easily, a behavior induced by the cult that raised her. So I'm not surprised that she'd default back to that, when her choice of death was cut off without her consent. Sakura is her new Deadmans, essentially. I know why Aguilera's not mad, so that's why I'm mad for her.

But the swing happens too fast to hold my suspension of disbelief. She went from having a breakdown over being refused her death to enjoying a bath. I could believe there's a time skip between, but it doesn't seem substantial enough. There needed to be like, two episodes minimum, to get from that scene to the one that came after.
