I think Münchausen syndrome is closer

Yes.

It's real damage. The "It hurts, but I don't mind" line has caused Wakaba's sole meme to be that she's a masochist...

Basically, she's KanColle's version of Tenshi, except she isn't as ridiculously resilient to make up for her tendencies.

Now, after translations, perhaps there is a mix of Münchausen syndrome in there... Seeing as she expects to be taken care of by the Admiral.

Adjusted size of note box since someone thought it wasn't fully translated.

(I thought it was obvious enough from the similarities in punctuation between the original and the translation.)

It's more distracting this way, but less so than dividing it into two separate lines, as the timing (of the pauses) doesn't work as well in English.

Late reply is late, but...

The pause timing seems natural enough to me.

Mind you, even if the pause doesn't occur in Japanese where it would in English, that doesn't mean you can't shift it in translation so it DOES sound natural in English. It just wasn't necessary here.

She's really damaged, though. By definition, Munchausen's patients are faking it.
