i think mare was as in love with sobae as sobae was in love with her but when she said she wanted to devote the rest of her life to sobae and sobae pulled that 'get yourself a man' stuff, mare interpreted that as a rejection. and being shut down like that is what convinced her sobae doesn't feel the same way (silly!) and finally got her to move on when she never considered other people an option until then. listen if i were sobae and fumbled this badly i would go nuts too. in her defense that was her first time experiencing these emotions. i was gonna call them shrimp emotions but these are probably the usual emotions for her. these are. idk. buffalo emotions for her
