"I'll always be with you"
As friends, right? Right?
I know Aoi needs someone but her emotions are all about abandonment, her confusion about anyone else or being close will always end up in sort of romantic way because she lacked it all the time.
So, it was really Aoi mother in the limousine...
Man, what a deadbeat mother, why wait, it's been 10 years already, why the hell wait even longer, more further and she will have zero connection just resentment for being left alone.
I'm guessing Ryuji will find them hugging and it's gonna be another misunderstanding...
Thanks for the scanlation!
