think about it - Laos (Nadeko) is attacked by the anticommunists (Nadeko's parents) with the help of the CIA (Gaen). the country is then carpet bombed and covered in landmines (childhood trauma). this is encouraged by Vang Pao (also Nadeko's parents), a figure who claims to be protecting people but actually just brings immense harm to the people of Laos (Koyomi)

Vang Pao continues to insist on escalating carpet bombing despite being proven as ineffectual in the fight against communism (Nadeko's desire to draw manga), while eventually giving up and fleeing the country while leaving his countrymen to suffer under the conditions he created (Nadeko's parents kicking her out of the house)
