This loli is a bit weird. It’s just a tie, doesn’t mean much in their relationship since they’re not going out to begin with but then again maybe it’s Manga logic?
I don’t know if the friend is bold since she kissed him in his sleep or she’s afraid to take a step forward like the loli. The loli is more honest with her feelings but the friend doesn’t do much. I also blame the guy, if he tried he could really get her in his arms. He shouldn’t keep a lady waiting...
