Haimiya Is Scary Cute Chapter 21

Toya tries to distance himself from Haimiya to protect her reputation from school gossip, but she sharply confronts him for his lack of honesty and self-sacrificing attitude. Feeling overwhelmed and depressed, Toya returns home and mopes in bed while playing a gloomy song on his guitar. His younger sister Umi notices his distress and visits his room to talk. Umi reminds him of a past incident from middle school when Toya similarly missed a concert to take care of her without telling anyone. Through this heartfelt conversation, Umi helps Toya realize that his secretive self-sacrifice only hurts the people who care about him, giving him a new perspective.
