I'm getting the feeling that Koyuki seems slightly repressed. Like she walks this narrow path and has a lacklustre palette of emotional reaction to certain situations. And to think even her mother was surprised when she started smiling more. Her mother and father getting surprised that she can actually burst in happiness (her success in getting George through the hoop). Or maybe Koyuki just doesn't have that much excitement in her life until Konatsu came.
It makes me happy that she felt so happy that she forgot to hold herself back in public. Ahhh~ Koyuki is just precious. I'm sure Konatsu agrees.
And the looong comfort hug.
