Episode 12: Someday I'll be strong enough that those memories can't defeat me

It’s a real tear jerker this time on Let’s Stay Together, as we discuss chapters 23 & 24 of Fruits Basket. We learn about Momiji’s painful past regarding his mother, and see a visit to Tohru’s mother’s grave. It’s been a year since Kyoko passed away tragically, and the memories are still raw for Tohru—and Uo and Hana as well. They visit her grave with Yuki, who reflects on his relationship with Tohru, and quietly—awkward Kyo, who’s experiences… regret?
