>>52751210Third, in the "Is Ash your boyfriend?" scene, Dawn doesn't blush, but she does stutter and show genuine confusion when Lyra asks about it. Again, it's not the "EHHHH NO WAY BAKA!!!" thing you'd see in romcoms, but it fits with Dawn being actually dense. When Lyra talks about how he's quite a catch and how Dawn should think about it she has a sincere answer of "I never thought of it" and makes a "thinking" expression. It's not the "I never thought of it" you'd get from a rejection, it's the one you'd get because the thought never crossed their minds, because they're dense fucks.
After this, near the end of DP, you have that weird scene where Ash sees Paul and Dawn walking together, and she immediately runs to Ash's side and blushes, like she's embarassed she was seen talking to another guy. Maybe Lyra did make her open her eyes a little bit.
