On introverts and extroverts, I do think some things are normal for each group but I think there is a lot of variation from person to person. I've always been an introvert. It was never that I wasn't interested or couldn't express myself well, its more that it was very hard for me to push myself to reach out or take that step. It's almost like a barrier that you have to cross to reach everyone else. Also, those memes about running low on a social battery are soooo true. Social interactions are exhausting to me. I can love my family and friends but I need some down time to recharge from alot of interaction whereas others in my family thrive on them. That doesn't mean that I'm not interested in what everyone is talking about and often I have a lot of things I do want to talk about with everyone else but again...exhausting and being able to take that social interaction steps.

Japanese is a very context heavy language so when Hori said “i love you..” then said the subject of her love is his hand/s and reiterating “i love your hands!”. When Miyamura said I love you too, the subject is also her hands but of course it’s a double meaning like externally they are saying they love each other’s hands but internally it’s the direct translation. And I think Toru worried about something like that would happen between those two- that Hori might express her attraction and Miyamura would chicken out of it bec of his personality, so Toru was trying to talk to him about it Toru just cares about his friends so much!!! 😭

I see a lot of people explain the context of the "confessions" but not going in depth on the literal meanings, so I'll explain that part. 😄 so specially because Japanese is context heavy like others explain, Hori says "Suki de" which is "I like (you/it)" at first instead of "Miyamura, suki" which would be "I like (you) Miyamura" or "Miyamura no te suki" "I like (your) Miyamura's hand" she just leaves it hanging. So after she panics then specifies "te!" His hands, he also leaves it vague and half confesses "ore mo, suki" or "I also like.. (you/it)" which can be taken to both mean that he's saying "I like your hands too" or "I like you too" and he leaves it intentionally vague when he says it again because he doesn't think Hori will reciprocate, so they both confess, but also both only left the other to think they meant their hands. Also, the word "suki" is misrepresented as "love" but it literally translates to "like" and "daisuki" is "big like/like you a lot" Japanese NEVER say "I love you" which is "Aishiteru" unless it's a major confession like a "kokuhaku" or a live confession ritual, where they will officially set up a proposal to date, but sometimes not even then, and this will even translate into their English 😂 they (at least my family and friend) NEVER will directly say if they love you, whether familial or platonic and from my friend's relationship with my other friend, he never said he loved her romantically either. So unless they are taught that that's something we say in English to mean all these things, they feel uncomfortable or sometimes don't even seem to think of the word, but rather speak with actions. (Ie. Bring you food.. all day. Especially when you have a bad day lol. I never ate so much as when i was in Japan. And I dunno why, but it really touched my heart my obaa-san would give us vitamins. Nobody ever cared about my health before enough to bring me vitamins 😭) so in this show, all these little complacencies and acts of service Hori and Miya keep doing for each other, that heavily resembles a Japanese relationship or familial relationship. That isn't something you'd do for casual friends one-on-one like that from my understanding. It's so wholesome. I think that's why they fell so easily into it without realizing. They basically were acting married or dating because circumstances put them into those roles, now they are just realizing they have a very intimate relationship. Oh and as far as I know, Japanese 3rd base is a kiss 😂 first is hand holding, then hugs, then kiss. At least, in anime (though my friend even admitted that physical touch isn't normal for their culture and he's just very forward, and I see that in my aunt. She does what I call "Shoko hugs" where she will only hug with her arms, and so lightly, you barely even register she's hugging you at all, while her body is 3 ft away 🤣 and all but 2 Japanese folk hug me in similar fashion, so I take it it's something born of not being comfortable with physical intimacy unless you're like.. either a weirdly affectionate person like my friend, or if you are very attracted to someone) hope this brings more context to the nuances we see in this budding relationship. Yall totally called it when you said they are doing their relationship backwards
