I'm glad that the rejection was just a mistranslation... my heart hurt after reading it initially. And I was confused by papa's sudden flip-floppity behavior towards the end.
The revision makes the pacing so much more bearable, although it still isn't perfect- Personally, I would have liked to see more effort on papa's part, though I'm sure he does care for him a lot. It would have been nice to watch Papa do something for Hitsuji for a change, although he did give him a brief/necessary 'push' in high school. That was nice of him; I hope they include more in the extra.
P.S. I hope Hitsuji stops feeling inferior just because he's gay... the way he cried about it so apologetically broke my heart. I wish there was a little more closure, there, like perhaps a re-encounter with his insensitive colleague? Either way, this was such a cute story.
