Moderate: Toxic relationship and Stalking

the torture aimed at main female character was a LOT. Semi sexual nature was bordering into problematic tropes of specific grandiose harm to women especially where they have very little they can do about it. Intention seemed more to be that Idolatry can easily put a target on peoples backs but I think Remina could have been given more honor.

It was okay. Seemed to drag in the middle and there's no real explanation for things which is usual for Ito, but here it just worked less
