Rin congratulates Yuki for securing Itsuomi’s deets, and picked a spot where she knows Itsuimi’s club meets. When Yuki can’t get his attention, Rin calls out to him, and he and Yuki have another cozy text exchange, where she learns he’s traveling to Laos. Rin notices how much Yuki is glowing, and that when it comes to knowing the difference between a crush an being in love, it’s ultimately Yuki’s choice.
Observing from on high is Oushi, Yuki’s childhood friend who signs fluently, but as Yuki says, “only to be mean to her.” That he learned to sign for her sake speaks to his protectiveness, but while they’re in college now he acts more like a little kid would towards someone he liked. I got vibes from his friend Izumi that she liked him, but can also tell how much he cares for Yuki.
Oushi would have preferred if Yuki stayed “somewhere safe”, but it’s not his life, and not his call. Having gone from nursery through high school in a special school for the deaf with just three classmates her own age, Yuki yearned to explore a larger, less isolated world. The first step to doing that was attending this college, and now through Itsuomi’s texts and photos she’s learning a lot more about the vast outside world.
It would be one thing if, say, Rin were the one providing her with this exposure to far off lands. That a super-hot guy is doing it intensifies her excitement. She’s never felt this way about anyone before, and that intensity makes her feel like it isn’t just some silly crush. That he took the time to learn how to sign “good morning” to her when he returned home speaks to his equal desire to explore her world. That said, I wish he’d ask before touching her head!
Yuki is excited to talk to Rin more, but finds she’s already conversing with two other women. While she waits for an opening, Oushi has a conversation with her in signing. I love how this is depicted, with detailed hand gestures, facial expressions, and subtle use of hand and mouth sounds made during signing.
That said, it’s kind of a fraught conversation. Yuki can tell Oushi cares about her by the fact that however blunt he is with his sign language, his hands still look gentle, even frail to her. But still, this dude is being a big ol’ stupid jerk. If he has a problem with her expanding horizons, he can sit and spin! At the very least, he should be upfront about how he feels.
Yuki, for her part, has taken Rin’s advice and determined for herself what it is she’s feeling towards Itsuomi: she believes it’s legit love. I loved Rin’s little hug of congratulations, and Rin signing “hang in there” to Itsuomi. I just hope Yuki doesn’t linger on the worry that he’s only interested in “cultural exchange.”
