Yea I think the same thing I feel like hiiragi wasn’t in love with yuki but that was his BEST FRIEND and now he’s just gone. he feels lonely because he doesn’t have that kind of relationship with anyone else. I think he is in love with Shi but that’s a different type of relationship there’s still a hole in his heart where his best friend use to be. If I were to lose my best friend I would want to reminisce on the the things we use to do together too (like finishing a song) but that doesn’t mean I’m not in love with my significant other in a completely different way.

so in conclusion both mafuyu and hiiragi love yuki and our 2 semes have to suffer all their lives living in yuki's shadow
