The kid still baffles me at points, but I Get Him Now, so he's bumped up from "eh..." to "alright" in my book!

I really love him. It's such a cliche, me starting a thread being like Eff This Dork and ending a thread being like I Would Die For Kamen Rider Puppy Dog, but I will never lie to you people. There's a point when he's smiling at Uncle in 49 (when Uncle's like Bring Everyone Home For Dinner) that is maybe the purest joy I've felt in the last three years. That kid's smile hits some pre-language part of brain, and I have no defense against it.

Every piece of Lovekov merch I see is like Sougo's Smile times infinity. I can't wait to see what Reiwa's like!
