A Sign of Affection – 05 – On the Same Page

When Itsuomi brings Yuki to his place, he isn’t shy about getting closer with Yuki. He slides off the couch and side-hugs her, and the two communicate with a mixture of lip-reading, the signs he’s learned, and texting together on the same phone. He notes how comfy it feels being near her. Yuki is too nervous to be comfy, but she has to admit this attention is bringing out her “clingy side”, in the way snow clings to everything it falls upon.

Itsuomi takes out the signing guide she made him, which has been well-used and full of tabs, and the two start writing on the empty pizza box together. She wants to learn more about him, but the feeling is mutual. We learn her family doesn’t sign, his parents are in Germany, and she very rarely speaks out loud because people used to say she had a weird voice.

Itsuomi shows her more money and souvenirs from the places he’s visited, surprising her with an African carved wooden mask. But after her initial shock, she starts to laugh out loud, which to Itsuomi—who won’t come right out and say he wants to hear her voice—must sound like the most beautiful music. When he asks more about her, he prefaces it by making sure she’s comfortable with the questions. She says sure, thinking “if it’s him, it’s fine.”

Kyouya calls Itsuomi to make sure he got Yuki home, only to be shocked he took her home, even though he knows he’s not the kind of guy who’ll do anything weird. He worries that Itsuomi isn’t who he think he is, but Rin assures him that from what she’s seen, Yuki will be fine. Kyouya admits that sometimes guys want to keep cute girls like Yuki to themselves, Rin asks if there’s anyone like that for him.

It’s a bold question that she backs down from, but thanks to the talk about Itsuomi and Yuki, they’re chatting again, and he invites her out for dinner, so things continue to go well. Unfortunately, Yuki is about to trace the word “everything” in Itsuomi’s hand (in terms of how far “if it’s him” extends) when Emma shows up to give him back his key. The way Itsuomi tells Yuki to go ahead, and the fact she can’t hear him or Emma talk, confuses Yuki and has her feeling confused and lonely.

It’s an understandable mistake for Itsuomi, who is probably overwhelmed by having to deal with Emma and treated Yuki like someone who could hear. He quickly realizes the potential misunderstanding that unfolded and chases after Yuki, but can’t find her. The next day she tells Rin what happened and Rin sympathizes.

But Rin also assures Yuki that Itsuomi also talks to and about her with the utmost affection. Not only that, Itsuomi called Rin to ask if he could come by that day. When he shows up Rin makes an excuse and leaves them alone so Itsuomi can clarify his feelings. When Yuki asks why he wants to learn to sign, he doesn’t say “it’s to expand my repertoire of languages to better interact with the larger world,” as she surely feared.

No, its so that he can talk with her. Not Emma, not that skunk Oushi, but her: Itose Yuki. She finishes tracing “everything in one of the hands that is slowly but surely learning to speak to her, then it takes her hand, raises it to his lips so he can kiss it. Even if Itsuomi’s not coming right out and saying how he feels about Yuki with handwriting, texting, or signing, this kiss should brook no doubt or confusion.
