@Tamerlane They don't find the dog charm gross (presumably). What's gross to them is that Ichikawa has a cute dog charm. Soft bullying him for doing gap-moe.
...I'm getting bad vibes here. I was hoping this would be an opportunity for him to stop relying JUST on Yamada. Sure, she's a big part of his life now, but that doesn't mean that he can't have other friends. Nope. Nope. Nope.
@comeonnow0 baby steps man, baby steps. he's still learning how to properly convey himself to other people. (i kinda wish rather than tell her he wanted to rely on her most though he explained he didn't want to become complacent and burden her)
