FRIENDS!!! THEY'RE FRIENDS!!! JUST FRIENDS!!! SO NICE!!! i don't mind the original but everyone actually wants to BE with her romantically (it seems like) and it's just nice to see our bakarina just have straight up FRIENDS instead of just... admirers. LIKE THEY'RE HER FRIENDS IN THE OG TOO OFC, precious friends even!!! but no one seems to be putting her on a pedestal in this one?? so far anyway. it's lovely
(tho i feel like maria might have gone doki doki in this chapter lol but idk aflkjds)
thank you for the update~ yaaaay friends and also keith being a begrudging brother!!!
