haru had an unrealized crush with Li-na!!! plain and simple, but I don’t think the date would have gone south, soooo it all sounds perfect! It’ll explain why he reached out to her for this blind date with his friend. I’m ready to take responsibility for Akira being involved and in the know of her tragic love life. Just text him at ungodly hours about whether small gestures mean anything or not.

also, i may be apping someone who I think would be a great cousin or sibling?? if you’re interested.
