There is a tiny part of me that wonders if Shirokawa isnt aware of the phobia, and is just 100% flirting. We know, from our perspective, that most of the time Kiyota goes to pieces its because of her phobia (and being a big gay disaster), but maybe Shirokawa is just seeing her as being a big gay disaster who goes to pieces over flirting with no knowledge of her phobia. Thinking through some of the times Kiyota had a phobic reaction, it was to interactions that would usually just be interpreted as flirting. I.e Indirect kisses through food, holding hands, walking together under an umbrella, touching someones face, wearing each others clothes, getting handsy on a train, having a sleepover and taking baths in the same tub, reading the same books and mentioning the steamy scenes. So, part of me is just waiting for some kind of rug pull moment where the author reveals they've been tricking us all along or something.I still don't know how to feel about that flirty bullying...

This remind me of a very dumb song I once listened to about a guy finding a curly hair on his soup. The thing is, the guy was conflicted because it could be just from his beard but he just had scratched his ballsAyo that hair did NOT look like it came from the head.
