>>24521581Because (and this is something that stalebaiters and people who want something to happen immediately seem to miss) as soon as Ash is aware of how Serena feels about him, we're hit with a make-or-break moment with Ash's response that could either canonize or sink the ship, Either way, though, you end up ending all the hype and you can't get people to watch Amour-baity episodes after that because it's over. Serena won't confess until the end of her time on the anime, which is likely the end of XY&Z right now. That's just how it's gonna be.
Everyone should just be pic related.
