Rangi Feelings Theory

Batshit fucking idea I had (man, what way to start this off).

Do I believe it? Not really. Do I think it works/is plausible and is kinda funny? Yeah.

Ok so we can tell Rangi is like super down bad for Kyoshi at the start of the novel, right? We also know Kyoshi seems to be down bad, but doesn't actually realize what she feeling THAT IS until she's running from the cops with Rangi, right?

Cause like, Kyoshi mentions her heart feels like it's falling to pieces when she holds Rangi on the iceberg, but she doesn't realize that's because she's in love with Rangi until like chapters later.

Basically what I'm saying is..... What if Rangi was the same way? TT0TT But the beloved idiot like....didn't realize SHE was in love with KYOSHI until say...... Kyoshi kisses her at the lake?

Like what if Rangi was like "oh yeah this is totally normal, running away with my bff! The same bff that makes my heart feel like it's being ripped from my chest Alien Style! <3" up until the lake scene....and then she gets kissed and is like "OH SO THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS!" jkfldsajfl; TT0TT

Cause like, no, this would explain her absolutely, abysmal level shit flirting with Kyoshi those past two years. jsalkfjd She's not running around to impress Kyoshi because she thinks that's the way to her heart. She's running around to impress Kyoshi because she doesn't understand what's she's feeling and is just trying to look cool. klajsf *sobs*

And it would explain how she flips the switch so fucking fast when it comes to flirting. Girl goes from Z--- tier to SSS+++ tier in like a millisecond. TT0TT And doesn't lose momentum like AT ALL!

Basically the theory is "What if Rangi was as oblivious as Kyoshi, if not more so, for her feelings towards Kyoshi this entire time?"
