>>50218351As the resident twitterkek and subreddit mod...people loved the scene dude, if only because most people interpreted it as amour taking a step back in the relationship between ash and serena, making it more platonic
Lots of people who like other ships (think pearlshipping or satogoh) pushed this scene as amazing because of it; of course, its hard to argue that the scene wasn’t good because it objectively was, but if there were any explicit romantic undertones I guarantee the reaction would’ve been more like you described
