Fluff. Fluff is all I need. Fluff is all I need in yuri.
I loved the off-hand mention of Nico's mom's support. <3
I think that's Maki talking about her mother. The dialogue would be a bit confusing otherwise. Maki says she's free on Friday and then Nico asks her if they want to meet at her place.
Yes, Maki's mother. It's made explicit in the jp dialogue, I just cut names in favor of pronouns, because that's more natural in English. Probably should have left something in to make that clearer, sorry.
