Even today, during the zatsu, I couldn't help but reminisce on his first few zatsus and how much he would stutter or lose his train of thought and struggle to find topics to talk about. I love him a lot (platonically!) and wish only the very best for him and I'm happy to be on this journey with him and witnessing his growth. A lot of the struggles he has I've also felt/am experiencing, so his improvements, how little they may seem is a huge boost in motivation for me as well.
