Youre literally the only one who gets it ITS real that being narrative parallels is more romantic than being in love. and love is really about not being in love which is being in love. also its so true that kirihara is mistreatment and gaslighting enjoyer and that is why he is perfect rikkai inheritor he literally belongs in rikkai so much. its so true that kiri is dog but also maiden. it's not about their actual relationship as much as it is what they see in each other and what they mean to each other and how all of that is unsaid and sparsely communicated ITS SO TRUEEEE. single kiss out of pity or promise so true... in the way a lady provides her handkerchief as a favour but also in the way a king crowns his heir. but specifically in a lady way. i always think about ur troikiri chart with ykak noted as most distant interpersonally but closest narratively. which is partly by (yukis) intent as well...Anyway you are so correct queen
