“We’ve always fought a lot, haven’t we? Now that I think about it, we fought for the dumbest reasons, didn’t we?” “Like who gets to sleep in the top bunk. We fought over snacks too, didn’t we?” “We also fought over toys.” “I won. Even when we played by Raine River…” “You pushed me in, didn’t you?”
I’m not okay
I’ll never be okay
but seriously, how often do you see a male main character- much less a main character of a shonen- be genuinely disappointed and angry with himself because he wasn’t sensitive and perceptive enough about a woman’s feelings? Not in a “because she’s mad now” way, but in a “I should have been there for her” way.
AND ACTUALLY CHANGE AS A RESULT OF THAT AND BECOME MORE SENSITIVE AND HONEST IN THE FUTURE?
not a hell of a lot.
