....perhaps he really has. He's desperate and at the end of his rope after all. Seishin knows that it's insane, but still goes with what he says anyway. Seishin is a true friend.

And I noticed something very sweet from Seishin and Sunako's conversations: "More than for not being able to convey your own feelings, it's painful when the other will not open their heart to receive what you're trying to convey" romantic or platonic, I think it's very sweet because it shows that Seishin doesn't only think about himself, he thinks and care about Toshio even more. (and perhaps he's like that with basically everyone) I wonder if this is one of the reasons of why you and some others seem to think that between the two, it's Seishin who's more likely to harbor romantic feelings? I'm wondering if I misjudged Seishin myself. Now that I think about it, I think we actually don't have much similarities after all... (so when I try to analyze him, I'll try not to project myself onto him too much, because it then turns out quite different too)
