Two Shades Of Red: Akane tries to pigeonhole [Episode 45907]

by Kestral

Akane had a number of traits developed over her sixteen years of life. One that she shared with a number of Nerima residents was that she came to a conclusion and then tried to fit the facts into that existing framework.

Sometimes her logic system had a few flaws.
Kuno Is A Pervert. Kuno Needs To Be Pounded. Kuno Is A Boy. Therefore: All boys were perverts who needed to be pounded. Kind of explained why she so readily accepted the morning brawl instead of finding another way of dealing with the problem, right?

In the case of Akane2 Akane was facing a situation for which she had no pre-made pigeonholes that were really applicable.
