GIRL PLEASE! AOKO! YOU GOT THIS! I know you're scared but it's okay! Try! Dude has been super supportive!

And my goodness, Tatsuki! Opening up and telling the story about what happened!!!! What a huge step forward!!!

And yes the hand holding is great but I think my favorite moment is when he puts his arm around her to look at the same piece together. Also the head bonk.

Do you realize how bad Aoko had to be hurt to not eat anymore?! Tatsuki prepared a lunch with over 20 sandwiches and they ate them all!! So, homegirl was definitely HURTING in the past

I read so much manga I forgot mr. bear man showed up and ruined the vibes lmao I realize she's still hurt and MC said in the beginning he wasn't planning to stay which would def trigger her abandonment trauma
