not to be SadOnMain™️ but the strawberry patterned glasses are one of those things in fiction that never fails to break me in pieces (lol) everytime I think about it.
the idea of something so delicate and unlikely as a couple of dollar store glass cups, cups that were not even meant to be sold in pairs, but ended up being bought by two strangers who had nothing in common if not a shared name
and then- just like these two girls- the cups became inseparable, they became the very symbol of their friendship, dare I say
until- in the heat of the moment, during very troubling times and because of an internal fight- Nana Osaki breaks her glass, her share of that symbol of friendship
and then we are introduced to the information that those glasses are still being sold at the same shop,ar the same price, and still not in a pair.
and we also know it's not like Hachi refuses to buy them ''because she wouldn't know what to do with the spare one'', it's just that she can't bring herself to buy a ''substitute'' to Nana's glass, Nana's share of their symbol of friendship, she can't bring herself to buy a new glass because it would mean moving away from Nana and those beautiful six months together, it would mean moving on from their friendship, to substitute her, and she will never be able to do that, not because she *can't* but because just she *doesn't want* to.
so yeah, the strawberry patterned glasses.
I don't know, it just breaks me.
