Like... as a reader and knowing that Fujishiro is clearly in love with Kurokawa makes me screech “YOU USELESS LESBIAN GO GET YOUR GIRL” to myself, yet I can’t actually fault her for being dense about her feelings considering it took me three years to figure out I had the fattest and most messy crush/first love of my life on my friend when I was young. When it’s a first crush or love, you lack experience with the emotion so you can’t really name it easily. It’s confusing and weird and you give it other labels so you can hopefully resolve it. But of course, it’s not the proper descriptor of what you’re feeling so the unease doesn’t go away until it’s properly resolved.
Good job me for typing out an entire weird character analysis/real life analysis on human emotion and love that no one really needed to hear lmao
