small thing i kind of hope happens in the future with egashira and nao is if they connect over fashion design. it's a passion that for the both of them is closely linked to their identities, their pasts, their growth and self expression, and it would be really wonderful to see the two bonding over it.

like one of the things takamatsu mentioned (i believe) is that she had no clue how much thought kids put into their outfits. One of the root, core reasons egashira gets so into researching how to style her clothes is because she was rejected for how she looked so much growing up and wanted to be seen as an equal. as she evolves over the course of the story she starts to find value in people accepting her for who she is---but even as that core reason for getting into fashion fades, she still clearly retains a strong interest in it.

and it would be really beautiful that if, as she grows, finding more intrinsic self-acceptance, her remaining passion for fashion is also given space to bloom alongside her into something even more powerful. like nao introduces it to her and its like this whole new world has opened to her you know. do you see the vision
