While they get along well and like each other, there's unaddressed problems under the surface that can and do occasionally cause friction. Shin thinks Helena is a little too trusting and willing to put up with things she shouldn't, though that image has begun to crack what with her smacking him one for lying to her. But it does mean he tends to doubt her assessments of character, and fears that he's repeating history and taking advantage of her, a common thread in his CR in general.
Their differing relations to information and the truth are also something they're starting to slowly reach an accord on and the lotus flower metaphor is stuck in Shin's mind now. He does make an effort to share more with her because that's how she measures trust but also... it's a defense mechanism to keep secret about himself, and with that level of safety it's nice to be seen and heard without it being used against him.
That said he's being a bit strategic with it because revealing too MUCH of himself seemed to hurt her. (Shin that's not the takeaway to the cocoa thing you should have taken). One thing that's interesting to me is that like. She's talked to both 'Sou Hiyori' and Shin Tsukimi in a sense? Like they're both him but there's been conversations dominated by one or the other and it's interesting.
Overall I do love his quiet realisation in the background that she's a much stronger person than he initially gave her credit for and how that's still kind of happening bc he doesn't know how rowdy she is under the hood because she keeps that on lock so well. Helena is kind of in the same bucket as Sara where it's like 'you can deal with this, but should you?'. Doesn't help that seeing her block Dito was very hhhh to him.
He's a little insecure about how fast she's picked up coding but also proud and happy to teach and it makes him feel like he's contributing :' ) He does like discussing things with her and hanging out and sdfdgfd between her and Komaeda they'll get him reading poetry yet. He's also like. Unsure how to approach whatever painful history she has (his first instinct is to leave it alone, but also she seems to think talking about this sort of thing helps?) but it hurts in that way where you know it's before you met but you still wish you could have been there to maybe do something about it.
Overall I just love this CR so much, I love them swapping puzzles and napping with the kotatsu and probably getting into silly arguments.
