When we last left off, Ono finally revealed herself to Fuyumura. She even explained how she ran away because she had undergone puberty, so she feared reprisal from Oshibu. Unfortunately, the man is conveniently here to apprehend the poor girl. I need to reiterate how messed up it is for the creepy headmaster to refer to Ono as “an adult intruder.” It is sick, actually. It is utterly sick to look at a pubescent child and see an adult. Unfortunately, Fuyumura’s response doesn’t help either. I mean, sure, I get what she’s trying to say, i.e. even though there’s a clear difference between a body that has undergone puberty and a body that hasn’t, that still doesn’t make Ono an adult. I agree. But it still feels wrong to say that she has “an adult body.” In doing so, it feels like we’re trying to meet Oshibu on his level. In reality, it doesn’t matter what body Ono has. She could literally have a 150 year old’s body and it still wouldn’t matter. In fact, we should stop talking about our physical bodies altogether. With Ono’s life experiences, her knowledge, her memories, and her current mentality, she is clearly and utterly a child.
