#and Motoki-san just let that go as easily as every walk he ever gave. he had the rarest thing in the manga (Abe’s attention) and dropped it

How badly did Haruna manage to screw up. How much does he suspect. My boy. Abe liked you. Personally. Abe was personally invested in you. Does he know what that means? Who does Abe like in this world: Momoe and Mihashi. He’s probably fond of Shun. The kid who barely remembers his classmates’ names wanted Haruna to be his teammate. Abe liked him! Abe Takaya! He wanted him to be his ace! The boy takes all your bad pitches to the chest and you leave him 14 points down with a full count. Motoki had Abe calling him ‘-san’ and remembering his words and he walked away. Even at the end he wanted something from you. The catcher number 2 Abe-kun actively tried to be what Haruna needed because Motoki-san needed it. How many times does Haruna yell at Akimaru for not being the same thing? God. Does he even realize the half of what he’s done.
