Okay, I seriously think (if the translations are accurate/not taking liberties) the author really is starting to play up the 'maybe Katarina likes girls more than she realizes' angle. She talks too much about them for it to honestly be platonic at this point. A bit of gushing or impressed thoughts is fine, but seriously.
yo you cannot tell me that katarina is straight if shes deadass thinking of girls like 22/7, thinking of so many girls as cute, and wanting to marry maria like??? thats gay bro...
