subaru and amami are sooooooo good... i love them because it really is such a fun relationship between them in how it gets so complicated and shows that they're both trying really hard in their own ways, but their own ways aren't entirely compatible either, and it gives me an opportunity to highlight a lot of amami's flaws that i wouldn't have the chance to get as deep into otherwise. for that, i'm really, really happy! i'm very sorry to subaru though. it must be super difficult having a "friend" whose first thought is "i care about this person so much i have to abandon them before they do me/i get them hurt somehow."

as for their actual little conflict going on right now, i think it's kind of funny because subaru has the right idea — like i said with helena, you do have to chase amami down to get anything out of him. if you don't, then he takes it as a not caring enough to do so kind of thing. he's got a real middle school mentality going on that way. however, when subaru (understandably) let his frustrations get the best of him there, when he tested the line to see if he could get amami angry about these accusations, i think it kind of... had the opposite effect from what was intended. rather than showing he's patient but nosy and concerned, it kind of reminded amami of all those people who'd turn his backs on him as soon as they learned — and subaru didn't even have to learn to do it!

he kind of comes into interactions like this with this expectation:


so where subaru had the right idea with continuing to pester him, he set himself back in a sense too by letting his pettiness get the best of him there. no matter how fair and understandable it was, and no matter how much amami deserved it (and he really did tbqh w/you), what it really did was kind of... solidify amami's assumptions around the situation. it validated them. if you're so quick to turn your back on him without knowing, then why should he give you the chance to hurt him for real? why should he open up his rib cage so you can drive a knife right into the heart? it's bad enough as a bruise, so he's not about to go that far before the wrap-up.

that said, it's not like they're absolutely and irreparably doomed, it's just... that this is a rough spot for them. it's probably only going to get rougher from here on out, but i don't necessarily think it's irreconcilable. things will get more complicated, but in a way that's fun and interesting to explore for both of them. messy, like real relationships tend to be! so i'm looking forward to seeing how they can learn and grow from these interactions with each other no matter how things end up between them, and as long as you're willing to humor me with this kind of messy cr i'm sure they can at least reach something satisfying. they're just having their little arc right now, is all.
