This chapter makes me like Asahi way more than the main story did. Like genuinely, I appreciate him as a character and a person, but he's so one-note for most of the series. Recognizing that ignoring the cat poster is tantamount to ignoring Shio's posters was so simple, but it fits his character and it makes him much more likable. Plus, while the cat represents Shio, it also represents him a bit since he ran off to the park and won't return home.
