Bro, first off, he had the golden opportunity to hug her from behind, but he froze smfh. Secondly, the way she said “but u know, the way you cared about ur partners feelings..” etc etc really robbed me the wrong way. But u gotta give it to the author, the way the author sets up and makes Mizuhara’s little monologue feel like she’s forcing herself and that she’s being fake feels so vivid and realistic, props to him, good job to him.
