I feel like I need to point out some interesting details about they're friendship

The way Gjon is hugging her and the tight hug/grip is absolutely adorable, He is also at the very brink of tears (it's Gjon's TEARS for a reason) and I'm pretty sure he cried after the hug, it just shows how important they are to each other, their friendship is so strong and has alot of development which is something that should be appreciated, also i LOVE how it's a FRIENDSHIP between a guy and girl, and it's lasted around three years now, I also heard that Gjon proposed a collab in 2021 but because of the situation they can't really do it, and in every picture they're together, they always seem so happy, Kate even confirmed that Gjon was her absolute favorite in 2021, she said that they've been talking since 2020
