Been feeling a certain way about Taka, specifically re: his and his loved ones' relationship(s) to alcohol
How frustrating it has to be for him to remember his mother's alcohol abuse and see Yuna recreate it by drinking too much
To have him be sexually abused and manipulated by an adult with alcohol and see Yuna - who experienced the same thing! - turn to drinking to cope
To have his (as far as we know) best friend be not just an alcoholic but one who makes and sells sake (and enlisted Taka's help selling it!)
That conversation where Kenji is trying to encourage Taka to drink so he can "forget all about Azamo Bay"...how many times has he had this conversation with Kenji and Yuna, how much must he hate having this happen over and over again, how much must he hate even the smell of it?
Just. OOF
