How do you balance reality with the unrealistic nature of anime? Does this make you feel like a coward for not being able to cope with reality? Or do you think it’s a healthy refuge from the stress and hard realities of daily life?

By now the story is getting really creepy, as we are closer and closer to the climax. The story is 15 chapters. The 4th or 5th post is to be the last. I also have to apologize again for a mistake I made in the first post (more info on that later).
