also like that ran is like "there's no punchline it just stopped". ran is like...hm. compared to utsu's complusion to narrativize everything, ran is almost always there to deny catharsis. i'm thinking of the last meeting briefly mentioned in the more recent dilmun chapters and of ran going "whatever makes you happy" and su (dont know why ive been calling her utsu) feeling like she's just been slapped. su wants her life to be a story and through a series of weird and lucky(?) incidents she has certainly become a main character, but the emotional catharsis she's looking for to make it all tie together and make sense and to kind of punish herself for it tends to elude her. especially when it comes to ran. i think its an interesting narrative role for ran to play, to refuse the melodrama and to refuse to satisfy anyone else's urge for it
