Notice that, like a high schooler, she still had unanswered questions and sought out the answers after school. It was a drive to do everything, and knowing everything, that she developed over more than a quarter of a century, and honed after college. She had to overcome that drive and become "human", which didn't really happen until Kaizaki stepped into her life. She developed her first schoolgirl crush at the age of 28. She was so confused about it that she tanked on the test for class rep one semester.

Kaizaki became a NEET because he couldn't handle the bullying by the black corporation that he worked at, especially after it led to his senpai's suicide. But he had a stable childhood. Chizuru, OTOH, had a very unstable childhood, constantly moving around the country, a new school every year or so. She built a wall to keep people out because she knew friendships don't last.

Another thing that I find curious is, while her mother is mentioned often, there is no mention of her father. No "tragic accident" that caused his death, no messy divorce ever mentioned. Could Chizuru actually be a "love child"? If so, how does Japanese culture view that sort of thing? I don't think it's as accepted there as it is in the US. (Correct me if I'm wrong)  Face it, the reason she moved around so much was because of her mother's work. Even if her dad had been a "house husband", she may have been more stable with others. Instead, she pretty much raised herself, and that's not always the best way.

One reason why I'd like to see the artist create a sequel: not only to show Kaizaki's success in walking others through the ReLife program, but also dig into their backgrounds more. We have a better picture of his, even his talking to his mom on the phone, but nothing much about Chizuru's.
