"Why don't you trust me?" said the embodiment of war hijacking her body

I really love the perspective shown during this conversation. Even though Asa’s gravity is reversed, she’s shown as being right side up, while Yoru is upside down. It reinforces Asa’s internal narrative that she’s in the right here, as well as demonstrating Falling Devil’s power—she can change someone’s entire perspective on the world, even through the fourth wall.

Didn't know I was a Japanese schoolgirl in the 1990s with one of the Four Horsemen in my head.

You have not experienced depression and this chapter proves it to me

I'm going to sound harsh but there are two camps of readers for this chapter: those who complain that the story is slowing down in a negative way, that we are witnessing yet another emotional crisis of Asa, on the other hand those who see themselves in Asa or at least conceive this chapter as the logical continuation of her emotional arc.

I wouldn't say who is right or wrong: the pace of the story does slow down. But several things. Forget part 1, you were following another protagonist, completely inhuman (in a self-destructive way) locked in a hellish system. Now you follow a high school girl with the war demon in her gut, even if super-powerful demons show their face, the story has changed setting. We are no longer crushed in a system, where the logic is that of abnormality: characters who die quickly, and those who survive were completely crazy. Here you are faced with the opposite pattern: it is in normality, the so-called normality, that abnormality and horrors slowly and more deeply begin to appear.

Asa is trapped in a vicious circle of self-deprecation, of lack of confidence, what "these repetitions" prove to you is that every time she initiates something, dabbles in happiness, simply loves someone: from a friend to an animal, it ends irreparably bad and in the worst way.

You are faced with a high school girl who does not evolve. Why is that? Because she refuses to move on. But the demon that represents rage and warriors is nestled inside her. Don't read this chapter as the umpteenth time Asa has a temper tantrum. But a young girl who is first of all undergoing what her opponent is serving her as an appetizer: the taste of trauma, the soup.

I don't know if I'm wrong, but in my opinion, forcing Asa and Yoru to cooperate and not let one of them take the upper hand over the other allows one thing: for the war to understand that it can be done otherwise than by enslavement, and for the girl to understand that even a demon nestled in her void.

Is a form of company.

And that she can no longer be alone.

So, unless a Denji ex Machina comes in to save the day, Yoru will have to overcome Asa's trauma and really connect with her in order to beat the Falling Devil's influence. Might be easier to just die, honestly.

Also, either Falling is using "fusion" as a food term here, or the Asa/Yoru situation might really be different from being a fiend or hybrid.
