^Was a good decision also. Calli and Kiara have great chemistry when they're just being natural together, with the forced Takamori stuff just being meh outside of a handful of moments. The Takamori dynamic works much better in fanart and such than it does with the real people.
It's a shame that a handful of people were outrageously toxic about the whole thing, but this is the internet so not much you can do about it.
