Confessing to a girl while she's taking a bath... yeah that's one for the books. I mean, IIRC it's not the first time he told her how he felt, but it's still a confession even if she already knows. I've never seen a confession happen in a scene like this, when a girl has a guy stay outside while she's bathing because she's afraid of something. I'm talking about the confession because I've already seen a scene like this somewhere else before.
Pg. 13 Kana felt a little smug that a hot guy loves her. He might be weirder than she would like, but he already has a foot in the door with her thinking he's cool sometimes.
"Why not!? You like me right!? Isn't it normal to want to!?"
She acts like she didn't want to be seen but says this. Make up your mind? I'd say Takaya was in the right this time, he had the right idea about not doing anything she didn't want him to. She has to be upfront and tell him what she wants, especially because he's denser than the typical guy. Clues and cues can work for a few guys, but I don't see it working with him. Yes, like telling him she's fine with a kiss is a good start.
Right, so the timelines are blending in for sure, with those hands repeating the same rejection push he already experienced before. I don't buy the explanation that this is a ghost, because this is a scene we've already seen before.
Maybe this could be a clue to breaking the loop? Heck, maybe a simple kiss with feelings could suffice? Although that sounds too easy without the supernatural pushing and all.
