Okay, so I want to talk about this scene right here:
No one probably cares, but here is my take on this.
I've seen various posts like "They should have kissed", "It was the perfect time for them to kiss", "It could of been the perfect Ladynoir kiss" etc. There is NOTHING wrong with you wanting them to kiss, I am a Ladynoir shipper, (along with other ships, I'm a multi-shipper, okay) I would have loved it too, but you know what, that's not what this was about. This wasn't the right time to just *mwah*
For me hugs provide comfort, love, or at least symbolize it, (when coming from someone who cares about me, and who I care about too, of course) Chat cares about LB, and LB cares about him too.
I feel, Chat hugging her, was for comfort, to show or say to her "I still love you, even if you made mistakes, I still love you, as a partner, as the love of my life, as a friend, as someone so close to me I never want to leave. I love you so much, here is a hug. It’s not the right time to give you a kiss, but one day."
And remember this boy is freaking touch starved, so a hug probably means a lot to him.
I could be reading into this too much, and/or projecting myself onto him so this is just my take, my opinion on this ✨
Yea :)
