( she didn't want to cry, especially given the scene unfolding behind them on the screen. it wasn't an appropriate setting yet the moment his hands grabbed hers and lifted them up to his lips, she couldn't help but feel a tender wave of emotion come over her. she wasn't able to help him during his own difficult period, those anxious feelings associated with his death from before, but she considered him a friend. even if they didn't know everything about each other, it was okay.
she knew him and he had accepted the kindness she showed him before. now he was showing her a unique kindness in his own way— she felt the revelation was silly and ridiculous but given the time period she came from, such things were also not as accepted. the country she was from fluctuated on how it felt about such things; some decades it was fetishized, others normalized and accepted, and others not so much. in her time it was simply viewed as a fantasy, a thought women could joke about; if I didn't have a man I'd date my female best friend. things like that.
so for keita to accept it so easily given the time period he was from [and her not knowing his own struggles], well it was heart-warming. enough for her to feel a soft blush on face as she looked at him with wide and soft eyes. )
Yeah....I guess it is.
( wasn't it strange? to come to such an impactful and meaningful revelation in a place like this? she couldn't help but laugh a bit as a few tears rolled down her face. )
wrapping this up here ♥

I mean to say, yes. Yes it is.
