I really don't want to sound mean but I'm really absolutely flabberghasted by the lack of reading comprehension of some people. How can anyone with a brain not understand that she appears young because we're seeing things from Seiichi's perspective? Multiple times during the story we've seen reality get distorted due to Seiichi's personal trauma, so why would things be different now? How can you people lack this basic understanding of storytelling? Like, did none of you all go to school or something?
