Tbh, is not the 1st time we see the almighty Takagi also being owned by her own lack of courage.
Instead we see Nishikata getting more and more sincere at the speed of light. Also, for some reason ive expected him to have some inferiority complex going after realizing his feelings. But i mean, Takagi barely pay that much attention to anyone else so would be bizarre for him to not have some confidence.
Im so glad things progressed this fast lately. Loved to see Takagi getting this flustered in front of him.
