I'm really curious about the next chapter now. How will the author follow this up? Will it be more progress? More heartbreak (pls no)? Will he pretend it didn't happen for one or two weeks, then get back to it, like he's done before? In any case, this is a momentous occasion. I can't believe Komi not only spoke, but she did it in front of an audience and it even was a confession of sorts. They grow up so fast...
