i got the feeling that his feelings were too much for him??? like he was overwhelmed @Anonymous
Yes, I agree. I think he was at a loss of what to do, especially when it was the same gender. Yet each time he spoke to Mami about Hoshino, it brings back fond memories for him. It really is such simple things and such a simple story that touches one's heart.
so why did senpai pushed sensei away when they were in high school? i dont understand that part :/
