Tbh this could be a cool story but I feel like there isn’t much in it for the reader. Like you’re saying “this happened” and “she/he said this” and all of that, but there is no actual emotion or idea for me to digest and enjoy.
It seems like you’re only telling little stories here and there and not portraying what could be a larger picture (ie the full story). And you’re telling it without any real context pertaining to how the characters (especially Mika) feel and are impacted by the events taking place. Like I barely know who this kazuya guy is. It seems like Mika has warmed up to him a bit but that’s it. And the whole finger cutting scene happened so quickly that I didn’t even really process it as gruesome.
I can see what you’re trying to do, but it’s sort of hard to thoroughly get invested
