I mean there are still some innocent aspects of host clubs and if you brace yourself, it's manageable. And realistically I do think there is a companionship aspect of host clubs that plenty of clients are aware of, like it's not a trap, they know the hosts don't love them, etc. It's just convenient and that's enough.
And agreed about "the scene" I did NOT want to treat Kaho's scars that way. This has been a big part of her journey- realizing that she's severely damaged herself and now she has to live with that. In a tragic sense, I think at this point in her life it's not acceptance of the scars, it's acceptance of the loathing she now feels towards them. Years of being despondent and borderline comatose dulled her to that, but now that she is returning to life, she is having to deal with the fallout.
