Are they making it so Shou and Falco fall in love….a little weird ngl since hes a father figure in this story
for me it feels like Shou right now is a weird mix between mother and daughter for Falco.
He very much has to take care of her and teach her about the world, but he is also (emotionally) dependent on her, basically she teaches him emotions in a way, after years of him only feeling lonely.
Hard to say if this will turn into romantic love at one point, certainly not impossible, but I hope not. Not every relationship between a male and female character needs to be love.
