Did Aya just get friendzoned?
She did. And that’s why her face screams “IS THIS BITCH FOR REAL?” at the end of the chapter
Also, the “once you’ve heard it, you’ll crave for more” just screams that she wants more to this relationship imo.
A breakdown nobody asked for, to make my point clear:
(1) Music can be so cruel
-> Music is what links the two of them. It’s what hurt her on Chapter 18 (“This is the first time my beloved music is trying to kill me”). To me it serves as a representative to their relationship.
Music is what has been guiding her relationship with her crush. It’s what nade her find out she was deceived and is what made her dumbstruck when hearing Mitsuki perform. (Call it a ‘kyaaa’ moment if you wanna see it through that lens)
(2) because once you’ve heard it
-> Now that Mitsuki is addressing the issue upfront, now that her (former?) crush wants to make amends, now that “Onii-san” is seeking for forgiveness. Now that music finally served as a way to comfort her (regarding her crush) once again, instead of bringing the pain it did on the 18th chapter
(3) you’ll crave for more.
-> She wants more of this music. She wants to be close to her (former?) crush. The music represents them, she wants more to it.
Imo you don’t show a character absolutely at a loss for words and say “you’ll crave for more”, specially given the context (so far Aya has been attracted to Mitsuki — in her job persona —, and we haven’t got any confirmation that she is over it now that she knows it’s a girl)
