Agreed. Tomikawa worries me but thankfully Hiragi keeps her grounded.

I wonder if Tomikawa is slowly limit-testing the relationship to see how far she can push it. She probably tries to be really good/useful usually. So now that Hiiragi showed her this much commitment in the last few chapters Tomikawa might do the opposite and instead try to see how "bad" she can be (which probably includes clingy/possessive) while still having Hiiragi like her to assure herself in the relationship? Like "if she cares about me when I'm this bad then she actually cares about me and won't leave me no matter what!". Hope I'm wrong though because that would probably get really bad for Hiiragi quickly.

The only other alternative I can think of is that things like sneaking out are things she did with the other girl to impress her, and she's reverting to habit to try and impress Hiiragi too? Out of the two alternatives this one is by far easier to deal with (she can just slowly unlearn those habits) but I have a feeling it's the former (because it's more complicated emotionally and this author loves dealing with trauma).

Now that we have some chapters with Tomikawa having black eyes, I would like to give my theory as to what it means.

First off, given that most characters in the manga have black eyes (an exception is the hairstylist), I think it mostly just shows off the general colour/shade of their eyes rather than the people being a certain way. So a possibility is that she just removed her contact lenses, but since her eyes have been shown to shift back and forth and there isn't much of an implied space between chapters 71 and 72, I think it reflects something specifically with Tomikawa.

So what does she do differently when she has black eyes? Well, she thinks about her family situation, her past, her relationships. (She is also shown to have black eyes in her past in chapter 85.) With her "shaded" eyes, she doesn't do that. She appears to mostly think about things like having simple fun together with Hiiragi. So I think her "shaded" eyes show when she is mentally shielded and that she has been shielding herself from thinking about how her life sucks by detaching herself from the more serious topics of her life. With the seemingly permanent shift of her eyes in chapter 70, I think it means that Tomikawa from that point began approaching things with those heavier topics in the back of her head.

She really does have that autistic rizz.

This is where I remind people that it's canon Hiiragi takes after her father, which apparently includes having fuckboy energy as easily as she breathes.
