>>3497117A classmate of hers, Oka, saw her doing her drool routine one day, and was interested enough to try and befriend Urabe. They've gotten along well since then, with Oka sharing and making lunch for Urabe. Another classmate, Suwano, was initially Urabe's rival, even though I don't recall the two meeting as such. She joins her and Oka for lunch near the end of the manga, so they may have become friends too. In a relationship, Urabe first looks for an aforementioned bond through drool. If her saliva tastes sweet, as sweet as love itself, then she's found the one. After that, I'll have to prove my love "in a way only I can". It has to be special, special enough for her to vomit drool. Then she'd consider us a couple. Urabe isn't very interested in doing usual couple things like hugging, holding hands, or kissing at the very start, maybe because she's nervous and not used to it, or because she wants to take things slow and build up trust before anything physical. I think it's both. She doesn't hate physical contact though, she loves hugs, but only with her permission, and handholding, but she had to initiate it. She wants to take her time before our first kiss, only having it in a truly special moment when we're completely comfortable with each other. This can sound frustrating to many, and she can seem strict, or even manipulative, but I think she's just shy, and I don't mind that at all.
