this exchange in volume 9 between seigi and tanimoto always makes me cry. as someone on the aromantic and asexual spectrum, it makes me happy to see tanimoto's way of life being acknowledged with so much care. it's kind of reassuring. like there's more to life than conforming to amatonormativity. like living differently than what society wants from you may still work out.

and seigi apologising for his feelings of waiting for her to change her mind being obvious…it must have been difficult to know that isn't right but not be able to stop his love for her anyway.

"i love you. i did then, and i still do. i'm sure i always will."

for me, a unfulfilled first love has a bittersweet fragrance. it follows you around. it changes some part of you forever whether you like it or not. while it may pave the path for a happier love, it may also, alternatively, leave you scarred for life.

i think seigi saying goodbye to these feelings after so many years and finally trying to be a good friend of the person he loved is brave and precious.

i'm glad they were able to finally be honest about everything that happened between them.

jeweler richard is my favourite novel series for so many reasons, and i'd say this conversation is one part of it that has engraved itself in my heart.
