OMG this is feeling more and more like Hirano is actually aspec. I do like him and Kagiura as a couple (which they can STILL be), but I simply would love it if he actually turns out to be cannonically aspec. There have been times I've had an inkling he might be before, but it felt particularly obvious to me in this particular chapter (28), especially with the use of certain vocabulary like "I'll ever be ABLE to", "repulsed", "care about" without specifying exactly in what way. Also with how much care and time they are taking to explore this dynamic and the boundaries of platonic/romantic it simply feels right. I didn't want to assume before but now I really really hope this is actually where it's going.
I'm aroace myself and relate a lot to many things Hinaro is going through, from the guilt of not reciprocating feelings and inevitably hurting a friend to the touch aversion and the confusion of trying to define exactly what your feelings are when most conventional terms don't feel quite Right.
