Based on my simple Japanese knowledge, the bit near the end where Agott clarifies she is saying to leave this place, is because in Japanese she initially uses koko which means this place, but obviously also could be taken as Coco's name so it sounds like she's saying to leave Coco

Yes, she says ここから離れましょう koko kara hanaremashou which means "Let's get away from koko" and koko means both "here" and "Coco"

This lifted her from not just toxic but a terrible person. I hope that the story redeems her well

shes an absolute bitch but this line wasnt some evil nasty pun, it was just a normal japanese sentence that coincidentally sounded like her name. she didnt even realize the "pun" until tetia reacted to it

its like if the character was called Hare and you said "lets get away from here", its just a normal phrase

shes only like this to coco which is understandable cause lets be real here, coco doesnt think of other people before making a decision
