page 14 made me experience a brand new emotion combo and facial expression...
Like... angry, mushy, cute aggression, elated, triumphant, validated relief?
With my face contorting into weirdly evil-ish(?), smug, sappy grin‽
Sort of an "yeah take that you cute, misleading, red herring of looming chekovs gun, gyaru who's nice(?) to a different otaku!"
It was a weird anger toward the idea she was ever a possible love interest, elated validation at her revealing in no uncertain terms that was never and will never be the case (as I suspected/hoped), while simultaneously heart melting at her expression and introduction of a future ship to simp.
