There's A Scene In The Fruits Basket Manga That I Keep Thinking About (by Which I Mean Right Now Because

there's a scene in the fruits basket manga that i keep thinking about (by which i mean right now because i've gone back to the anime and it's the episode where rin and haru break up) and it's.

when haru "i knew that i was putting rin at risk by falling in love with her. i knew i was putting her at risk by confessing to her. i knew i was putting her at risk by our being in a relationship. i knew all of this and i did it anyway because i wanted her." and haru walking eyes wide open into something that would hurt someone he said he loved and acknowledging that's not love.

(and akito pulling that out of him. you knew what i would do if i found out and you put her at risk anyway. and haru acknowledging that as true. and that doesn't excuse what akito did. but haru acknowledging that he was trying to set himself up as a safe place for rin while all the while he was just putting her at risk.)

like.

the complications of the relationships in fruits basket. and the acknowledgment of how screwed up even an admittedly good relationship could be.

i just.

ugh.

why did it only take one episode for akito to be redeemed...

like i get that there's probably a shit ton more coming and all that but SHE IS ABUSIVE SHE WENT ON A STABBING SPREEEEEEEE AND NOW SHE GETS TO BE HAPPY AND FORGOVEN??!?! i don't but it and i will never forgive u akito (that's not true i'm actually pretty happy she's trying to change and i frickin loose tohru)

tohru just cat catch a break omfg 😭

first the love of her life says he disappointed her and then LESS THAN A SECOND AFTER HE RUNS AWAY akito is ready to STAB HER
