this fucking chapter. just elevated a pretty good shojo pairing to a fantastic one. the ichimura backstory that we ALL saw coming, yoi finally expressing her desires, ichimura pulling her close and letting her FEEL how nervous and excited he is about her confession. fucking perfection 10/10. they just both want to be wanted for once!!!!!! seen for who they really are and wanted BECAUSE of it, not despite it

oh my GOD okay first of all the way that he zeroed in on her in that massive crowd and when she’s wearing a mask???? that’s love right there. second of all, i thought it would have to be ichimura to take the leap but i now realize that that was so backwards cause he’s been the one instigating and leaping this entire time, even if he hasn’t been totally vulnerable. that will come later, it’s yoi’s turn now

idk what it’s gonna take for ichimura to be fully vulnerable with yoi but it really needs to happen in order for this to work. he keeps letting little things slip here and there (which is part of why she fell for him at all imo) but when he follows them up with this shut down, it’s so confusing for her. i do think this instance is the clearest though so maybe she can take the leap and ask him straight up about it
