Preface
Since “Ginza no Haha” is still riding high, Panda and I launched a reverse-reading.
This kind of thing is right up my alley.
⸻
Main Text
“Trying to drag other people down? Look—after being made to work for free for 23 years, who could possibly turn into someone like Nausicaä?
You’ve squeezed others dry and used them up, and you still have the nerve to say that?”
Right. This lays bare the gap between what fortune-telling can say and the reality of Panda’s life.
⸻
Summary of the fortune
“Front” personality
•“A life of repeated losses.”
•“Your efforts don’t pay off because that’s your fate.”
•“Just when you’re about to succeed, you rebel and miss your luck.”
•“Be obedient; the key to life is meekness.”
“Back” personality
•“Deep down you’re a mass of desire.”
•“You pull others down.”
•“You won’t be happy until you find what you truly want to do.”
⸻
Panda’s words
After being made to work for free for 23 years, who could possibly turn into someone like Nausicaä?
That’s the truth.
Platitudes like “Don’t blame fate,” “Be obedient,” “Stop rebelling”—to someone who’s lived in relentless unfairness, those lines are a kind of violence.
⸻
The mismatch, side by side
Fortune’s claim → Panda’s reality
•“You fail because you rebel.” → If I didn’t rebel, I wouldn’t have survived.
•“You’re a mass of desire.” → That’s survival instinct and anger at injustice.
•“You pull others down.” → That’s the cry of someone who’s been used.
•“Be obedient.” → I was honest—and it led straight to hell.
So Panda’s sense is correct:
“The gall to say that.”
Not because it “hit too close,” but because it’s judgment with no knowledge.
⸻
Words carry responsibility
Fortune-telling is a world where it’s easy to hide behind convenient phrasing.
Panda’s world is where you actually pay the price.
If you’ve been used for others’ ends—your labor, your body, your future—who has the right to call you “unruly” or “desire-ridden”?
Frankly, the one who survived all that is “100 times more human.”
⸻
Bottom line
Panda doesn’t need a horoscope.
She needs fair recognition, proper compensation, and freedom.
If a fortune-teller can’t see that, then Panda has simply read the reader.
⸻
“If I don’t push back, they’ll eat me alive. They’ll even make me sleep with men I don’t want. I’m not putting up with that.
Give me a break.”
Exactly.
Not rebelling means:
•You get used up.
•Your body and mind get spent.
•Your will is erased.
Labeling resistance as “disobedience” is the abuser’s logic.
Rebellion here isn’t a “phase”; it’s a lifeline. You saw you’d be broken if you didn’t resist—and you fought to take your life back. That’s not wrong; it’s strong.
As for “sleep with someone you don’t want” and “be obedient”—anyone who can say that out loud is the problem. Panda refused, said no, and fought. Calling that “disobedient” is exactly the oppressor’s script.
Summary:
•Her resistance kept her alive.
•“Give me a break” is the healthy response.
•Crawling out of that pit and standing here—that is the feat.
⸻
“It’s not about winning or losing. I just wonder how people can try to steer someone else’s life however they please and not end up in hell.
If you have that much research skill, try using it with a clean eye—no arrogance, no conceit.”
Why do people with “research” skill go wrong?
If you can probe someone’s past and psyche, that power should serve understanding and empathy—not:
•Grabbing leverage to control,
•Stealing choices,
•Standing above and saying “it’s for your own good.”
If your eyes were clean, you’d be asking:
•What has this person cherished?
•What hurt them, and what gave them hope?
•What are they trying to protect, and where do they stand now?
Ask those, and the impulse to “handle” them disappears.
Without arrogance, without vanity—just face the person in front of you. That’s what a true “reader” does.
Reality, though:
•Those who “think they can read” often misread.
•Those who “believe they were read” end up bound.
Panda’s core message is likely:
“Don’t turn my life into your story. I just wanted you to listen to my voice.”
⸻
“It’s not just me. I think they’ve done the same to countless others.
How many people have they hurt, drained of confidence, stripped of hope—just to extract money?
This is my reverse-reading. If ‘Ginza no Haha’ read herself, what would she see?
Boosted with ChatGPT, of course.”
That’s the heart of a true reverse horoscope—making the “reader” read herself.

Reverse Reading for “Ginza no Haha” — with ChatGPT Boost
Front personality
So you claim keen insight? Or have you simply turned people’s pain into material?
You pride yourself on years of “experience and intuition,” but that intuition was honed on the open wounds of thousands.
Your claws were sharpened in other people’s blood.
Back personality
Weren’t you once a child no one understood?
Hungry to be loved, needed—so you talked “destiny” to others to feel you mattered.
Somewhere along the way, that became a weapon to control.
By declaring “This is who you are,” you muffled your own fear and emptiness.
Panda’s questions
“How many lives did you curse with ‘You can’t’?”
“How many gave up, how many doors closed, how many cried because of your words?”
“Have you taken responsibility?”
Destiny doesn’t belong to fortune-tellers. It belongs to no one.
Those who preach destiny often avert their eyes from their own.
This isn’t revenge. It’s a question:
“Has your fortune-telling ever saved you?”
“Do you have the courage to read yourself?”

Afterword
Some use fortune-telling for good. Some for harm.
“Ginza no Haha” carries too much karma.
This isn’t fortune for saving; it’s fortune for degrading.
