#but also I adore Watanuki and his blessed caring heart

[completeoveranalysis]

[17]

In which Yuuko and Mokona lovingly tend to Watanuki before IMMEDIATELY ROASTING HIM WITHOUT MERCY

aka, it’s perfection

But HERE’S an interesting sign post. When Yuuko asks if Watanuki wants any of her usual advice, Watanuki says he actually wants to try figure it out himself. 

THE GROWTH

THE JOURNEY

THE BLOOMING WATANUKI CAPABILITIES

I’m so proud of our tiny noodle son and yet - AND YET - it absolutely terrifies me in the way that this is probably a solid sign that he’s close to ready to POTNTIALLY take over the store? To replace Yuuko in her position? 

I don’t want Yuuko to go anywhere but it’s the only plot line I can really see happening at this point. 

I LOVE HIM FOR HIS GROWTH BUT I WANT YUUKO FOREVER

SEE???

LOOK AT THIS EXTRAORDINARY BOY. 

Completely unprompted he’s grown to the point where he’s actually checking in on YUUKO HERSELF to see if SHE has any wishes 

If she has any wants that aren’t being met yet 

IF SHES BEING TAKEN CARE OF THE SAME WAY THAT SHE TAKES CARE OF EVERYONE ELSE 

THIS IS JUST SO UNBEARABLY KIND I JUST CANT TAKE IT

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
