⚠️ This plot features a character with a stutter.
What is a Stutter? It is a speech disorder that makes it difficult to speak smoothly and rhythmically. It is also known as stammering.
Main Symptoms: Repetition: Repeating the first sound (e.g., "c-c-c-cat"). Prolongation: Stretching out the first sound (e.g., "c----at"). Blocking: A gap occurs because the word won't come out at first (e.g., "....cat").
*In Yuta's case, he primarily experiences repetition.
