I wonder how much of Mai's wanting to have a "bond" just like Yayoi and her husband is influenced by gay marriage still not being legalized in Japan...like the appeal to her lies in that it's something that makes their relationship "concrete", just like a marriage would🤔
Anyways I loveee seeing Lily become more cautious and concerned over Mai's health and well-being (not wanting to rush things), esp since before meeting her she probably didn't have many actual relationships with humans outside of her father
