Thinking about that ^ exchange a bit more, I realize that this may be the first time Sakurako has expressed a desire for something more out of their relationship. She's always saying things like she's happy just being with Kasumi or doing things that make Kasumi happy, and she resisted labeling their relationship with an it-is-what-it-is attitude. But I think this is the closest she's ever come to saying that she'd like to receive some affection, too. In a way, it may be the first time she's acknowledged Kasumi as an equal in their relationship instead of as an idol.
(Which may all have already been brought up in discussion, but I'm not wading back through all of those pages to check.)
