#because it had 50% chance of absolutely destrying my heart again

THE WAY I SCREAMED WHEN THE SCENE CAME ON

LIKE WE COULD ARGUE ALL DAY BUT I WILL STAY MY GROUND THAT THAT WAS THE BEST WAY THAT THEY COULD SUBTLY SHOW US THAT RANGA IS CANON.

I will gadly explain even tho no one asked.

Starting off we LOVE her. Best character fight me I will might for her.

Off the bat Nanako is clearly an overthinker and cares deeply about Langa, she wants the best for him 10/10 and that is shown everytime she's on screen!

Their dialogue on this episode on the scene:

"Hey, Mom..."

"What is it?"

"This is tasty"

"You think so? It went ratger well today, how well it's cooked...-"

"Hey, Mom..."

"What is it?"

"Will it be sunny tommorow?

("This is... Langa is trying to consult me for something? Come to think of it, he hasn't been that cheerful lately! Oh, there it is! My son talking about his troubles! What should I do Oliver?!")

"Hey, Mom..."

"Yes? (Calm down! Don't make a big deal out of it! Adolecent boys are timid!")

"I kinda screwed up. And I'm being avoided"

"I had something similar happen to me."

"Really?"

"You just keep missing each other. But neither of you are in the wrong."

"No. It was my fault for breaking outr promise."

"I think it's best if you were honest with your feelings."

" 'Honest' ..."

"You like that person, right?"

"Huh? Well... yeah."

"Why don't you honestly relay your emotions?"

"No way. That's too embarrassing."

"You have to act on it...if you really care about her!"

" 'Her' ?"

"Eh?" (from Nanami)

"Eh?" (From Langa)

I will stand on pin and needles because not only is this the perfect way to actually lay out Langas type of feelings towards reki aswell as probably a coming out scene thats not really a coming out! OH AND LETS NOT FORGET HOW THIS WILL AFFECT LANGAS SKATING IN THE NEXT FEW EPISODES.

First off laying out Langas feelings towards Reki aswell as what those feelings are

that "huh... well..." that comes before the "yeah" is so dam important im rolling on the ground.

Because, yes, he hesistated and he thought, HE HESITATED AND HE THOUGHT ABT IT

Its the whole "Well do I like him? Well dam I guess I do" ordeal and its *cheffs kiss* beautifull.

And if anyones curious yes this is 1000000000000000% romantically.

Taking in context what Nanami said in before that with the whole "I had something similar happen to me" "You just keep missing each other but neither of you are in the wrong"

She's clearly talking about her and Oliver's past here. Something similar happened to her and Oliver, a fight or missundertanding maybe and they parted ways temporalily, but then they came back to each other.

Thats why this isn't in any way platonic. And she knows it and it's talking to him thinking that he is talking about a crush or something like that.

Langa knows that she's talking about it like that and he's thinking about it like that.

And my friends that's why this scene happens

YALL CAN SEE THAT ITS NOT THE ASPECT OF "its someones you like" THATS HE'S CONFUSED ABOUT, BUT THE FAACT THAT SHE SAID 'her'

AND ITS HILARIOUS BECAUSE LANGA HAD IT IN HIS MIND THAT SHE KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABT bcz she probably knows Reki and all... and the baby is SO confused hahahhaha

And then before the scene ends Nanami has a "Eh???!! (ohhhh)" moment and its gorgeous because Langa also has a "eeh???" and t the end.

She realised he wasn't talking abt a girl and he realised that she didn't already know, because to Langa it was like "She's my mom so like obviously she must know" kind of thing.

Ngl I could hear the cogs clicking toguether in her head plz hahajkzj

Now not only is this the perfect coming out, but also laying out what Langa feels towards Reki.

His sexuality by this scene is probably something he never thought he needed to explain, and it fits so well with his character I think i could cry to be honest.

also because of this

after the scene Langa is looking for reki and it looks like he needs to tell him something AND HONESTLY ITS BEATHTAKING.

The way the next episode could possibly be something special is ahhhhh you know???!

sorry for the big rant these are just some thoughts.
