Anyway, yes, Keitaro and Yuka, it's an incredibly lovely scene. I love the small gesture of it, how he doesn't do a whole Yuka Is Yuka speech or whatever. He just stands there for a second, hugs her, holds her, and it's a cut to Open Your Eyes For The Next Faiz.

This episode was sad and solemn, but it made me so happy.

It definitely hurt seeing Keitarou's initial association between the Takkun he cares about and a monster to be feared. That's why his development was so important. His acceptance is a rarity in this world. If nobody else will care about them, then he needs to.

Epic speeches are Takumi's department. He doesn't want people to know he cares so he can't exactly show them. Speeches work for him, but Keitarou doesn't mind looking like a sap. He's genuine like that. Sometimes actions are more important than speeches. It's what Yuka needs right now. Yuka wants affection and Keitarou wants to solve people's problems. They're very compatible in that way.

I'm so invested in this ship!
