we don't talk often enough about the fact that although for most of yyh canon Keiko bears the weight of "the annoyingly clingy one" bc Togashi didn't feel confident enough to put his entire pussy into the effort of realising the potential of her character and expansion of her themes into the narrative, Togashi also, in his last bits of energy in the effort to complete one final arc for yyh, decided to recontextualise that with the reveal that Yusuke used to tell Keiko he'd make up for all the bad shit he did by marrying her, *he's* the annoyingly clingy one.

#yyh things #keiko and yusuke #clutching at the anime only flashback (ep63?) of yusuke & keiko having a Bunch of friends when they were younger and #then they Dwindled for reasons undescribed but it was down to keiko and yusuke. What happened. What were those children.#yusuke has never looked more yukinacore than in that moment it devastates me every time #clutching Especially Though at Botan's “Wow you did *that* too?” we're not being creative enough w that utterance!!!!#what was the “*that*”!!!! im not saying “yusuke did heroin at age 5” (could be a darkly funny take??) im saying!!! extremely shitty thing #that a bratty and short-sighted person who underestimates how much regret he can actually possess. i want my heart tested #i want to think “bro... u *had* to realise that wasn't gonna give u or anyone an actual sense of peace did u??”#i want “i guess he wouldn't do it in the present... that's a comfort... im sad he did that b oh my god he's kinda not repentful *enough*--”#headcanon that yusuke & keiko had a Big Fucking Disagree and Fuck You we're not friends until *you* change your mind thing #during which yusuke arrived slowly but surely at “oh god actually she should not be friends w me” and keiko was stewing in #“oh wow he really won't change this one part of his attitude?? i matter less than his whole delinquency schtick?? fuck him too!” (she's #crying on the inside) and then Something Happened in which keiko clocked what yusuke was doing now and went #“oh no I'm watching you like a *hawk* from now on actually” in precanon hence why after all that “clinginess” across majority of canon #that it seemed like keiko “gave up” the way she did at the three kings prologue #that's actually her default state w yusuke its just that yusuke gave her some sort of scare that sent her into a very reasonable #“i need him to have a baby monitor so I know he's breathing eating and living okay”
