thanks for the chapter and speedy work on this.
I think the pun at the end might make more sense (at least to English-speaking folks) as something like "In fact, I'm a full Happy Meal" (maybe 'Happy Meal' is specific to certain parts of the USA, and if that's the case then that's on me) - but it might read/flow better that way. Purely one person's opinion, and I don't mean to step on your toes or anything.
Otherwise yeah. I hope this is her slowly closing the distance (weird to be wishing that when she's 22 and he's...like, 14), but building on the foundation we've been given, even if this a 100 chapter series and we're not even a 5th of the way through, I'd be glad for some actual velocity to at least one main character's feelings toward the other and for moves to be made that indicate that in a more overt manner.
