Finally they're doing something right. Communication. I think even if you know they're in a relationship, confessing itself makes it that you can finally have a baggage off your load that you've been holding (like Ikezawa). Them being rejected will make it so they can properly move on, please talk it out and understand each other and then they can finally move forward instead of dwelling on the what ifs. Finally.. Finally.. I hope it just keeps going well in this direction!
