"you should've let me touch those paws of yours!" bahaha that's so cute and I 100% agree, why giving people your claw when you can just show your cute pink toe beans.
Also, I'm glad MC suddenly having a little crush doesn't make her hopeless, she's like "ok ML kinda cute tho" but she's still level-headed and ready to do her own thing. She's a badass and I want her to stay that way until the very end.
