it was really refreshing to see an insight into tataras mind considering he has never really explicitly shown this conflicted relationship he has with dance. it was also really nice to see how easily he was able to open up to kurauchi and hakamada
I feel like Kurauchi and Hakamada are slowly becoming sort of older brother figures to him?!?if that makes sense, but the way they dote on him and he in turn is able to easily put his guard down around them and speak to them honestly is really sweet. They are also older so maybe he feels more secure talking to someone who isnt an adult but isnt his age easier?! They’ve been dancing for quite some time so maybe he feels like they would have more advice to offer than those he is usually around(or another perspective). They also don’t treat him like he’s fragile like everyone else does, they get down to it and ask him not to have a filter around them bc there’s no point in making himself appear different to them. I feel like he is also having a growing relationship with Kugimiya in that aspect bc he isn’t afraid to ask him things like he used to and Kugimiya has sort of become like a peer that wants to see a newer student succeed bc of the way he reminds him of himself
HOPEFULLY THIS IS THE SIGN THAT ISAGI IS GONNA BEAT SAE IN A 1V1! ANYWAYS I CANT WAIT TO SEE ISAGI SCORE WHILE BEING MARKED BY SAE
