Tbh, the way the manga was going towards the end, I was actually expecting a confession from Akio, but nawp lol. Anyways, dang it, I just remembered the movie, Our Times, because of this... I do hope it's not going towards that meet after x years route because Akio for sure couldn't just leave the cat cafe like that, right? I highkey think it's the visiting grandma for sure. Thank you for the chapter! Can't wait for the next one!
