"I can excuse the makeup, the piercings, and smoking. Those are actually kinda hot."
LMAOO
Well, she definitely doesn't have her priorities straight, I think it's safe to say to say at least that much.
With how the guy looked when Nina asked and how senpai looked when she said this, to me, it REALLY feels like they're both exes and when they split senpai still had lingering feelings
Or they're FWB or in a situationship kinda deal
Anyways, just based on vibes... this one's gonna hurt. It also doesn't come off to me that Nina realizes the depth of her feelings.
She calls it admiration in her dialogue and she's like "I wub her" in a playful manner (that's how I read it) and I feel like "admired" and "loved" are very two different things, and if she was aware at this point her feelings were that of love, she'd have said so instead of saying "admired", no?
And with the first page + title, I wonder if it's hinting at the fact that Nina will eventually get obsessed with her senpai, hence wishing it was "just love" or she's wishing she could've just loved her and had her feelings end right there instead of feeling possessive, envious, heartbroken etc all the difficult feelings that come with being in love with someone?
I genuinely feel like it's safe to say this line at the bottom of the page is foreshadowing, right?? Maybe I'm waay off base here tho, idk
How is this gonna be subtext when the first page is literally her realizing her feelings? :P
The first page is a future perspective it seems? Like, it takes place after she realizes her feelings go beyond just love, cuz a few pages later the feelings go from "love" to "admired"
That being said, I feel like Yuri crush wouldve been more fitting buut at the same time, I'm fine with the subtext tag until we reach the chapter where Nina is like "oh wow, I think I'm in love with her"
