I just finished Butterfly Soup 2 and I'm a bit disappointed because I still don't really get Noelle and Akarsha as a couple. Like playing the first game I was absolutely convinced that Noelle had a crush on Diya that she wasn't really aware of because she was really jealous of Min and her development of a crush on Akarsha didn't read to me?? It felt kind of like it came out of nowhere.
tbh yeah like i'm a ppkm shipper and that was one of my issues too. i kinda wish they showed the progression from annoyance to obsession to crush on noelle's end better.
i feel like the rosin prank noelle does (she has a stash of rosin just for when akarsha's breaks and she thinks it's some devious prank loll) and maybe even the secret valentine do a better job of showing noelle's crush than the akarsha sub zero knee scene for ex. and i wish there were more moments like that
