Sound! Euphonium, S3., Ep.7 - Summer Fermata (Patreon)

I thought I was starting to understand who Mayu was and what her character was developing into, but man...I was wrong.

I honestly feel bad for her though. I couldn't imagine an existance where one finds it easier to always make people happy and always help others before trying to take care of yourself and your thoughts and feelings.

The hardest part here though, is I can see myself in her and I sort of dislike that. I used to live my life like that. I tried my best to make everyone happy and it always ended up not being enough for the other person or I was still not good enough. I have had to relearn how to take care of myself before taking care of others. I also had to learn that I will not make everyone happy. It's hard. I hate knowing that.

...anyway, I want to hear your thoughts. I am worried about Kumiko. It feels like being president is causing some stress in trying to make every situation and conflict solveable.
