Seems like Para’s inner circle of “friends” evidently suspect or at least entertain the possibility she is homosexual or bi, although it seems like Para herself isn’t quite sure. It’s interesting see Para’s criticism of Kyou (“make a move already”, urging him to hurry up and give Miki a bell), and reflecting that back at herself. Is Zuka wondering why Para hasn’t given Miki a bell? Seems a bit hypocritical, right? Still, Para’s definitely a bit weird, and while Miki’s certainly special to her, romance might not be the right fit either.
Also, it’s looking like maybe Zuka’s planning on giving the bell to Miyazato, or perhaps vice versa. If so, Para’s “lovey-dovey” act might be self-sabotaging.
I guess the thesis question for this work as a whole might be why don’t any of these people actually state their feelings or positions on any of these matters, but maybe it’s not so easy to do or perceive when you’re living it.
