Has no one picked up on the darker vibes of this scene? The look in Ayako's eyes, the possessiveness and the misplaced concern? The implications of sexual assault on Ayako when she was a *child*? Not the least of which is that Ayako fully admits, albeit internally, to being emotionally stunted.
Everyone's talking about how hot this is, when all I can take in is how unpleasant this whole situation feels. I feel like this is setting up for Ayako to do (or at least attempt) something Asuka doesn't want (not like this, anyway) and that she's going to regret, which will move the story forwards in a hopefully more positive direction (eventually) but *should not* itself be celebrated.
