...goku suzume has a real talent for making normal, innocuous panels look sort of ominous... just looking at this on the first pass not reading any of the words, i was like "is izuru... being brainwashed into total dependence on hajime? this is such an insane ass twist...!" and then i read it and i was like "oh... hajime is literally just saying, 'ah, someday you'll outgrow running to your older brother for help, so im glad i get to help you now :)'" like... THE TONE OF THIS PAGE.. THE LAST PANEL LOOKS SO MENACINGGGG
...It wouldn't be strange for someone like you to leave someone like me behind.Isn't it obvious......I don't need anyone but Hajime.HahaIt's not obvious at all.You're so talented- you could do anything...But I've grown up now since we were kids, so I would would be alright if you did leave me...Even in the future, would you still choose me?
