I reread. And as you mentioned, I think it happens right after he broke up with Ugetsu. Aki is walking back, recalling the toxic relationship, then remembering the warmth and the love of music brought back by Haruki, and finally realizing his own feelings.
I love the comparison between the darkness in Ugetsu's room and the warm/brightness in Haruki's room. It says so much of why Aki decided to change. Don't need words for that. Just panels that have so much feels.
Can someone tell me where in the timeline of chapter 28.5? Thank you!
