>>659538For me the beauty of this relationship, whatever it is, is that it doesn't need to be anything specific - romance or not the bottom line of them caring deeply about each other and supporting each other through many rough spots in their lives is very public so there's zero reason to worry about their "status". This doesn't hinge on assumptions or speculations even some more prominent ships live and die upon.
I've seen one interesting comment after Kanata broke into Coco's room to comfort her. The person was really worried for Coco ever since the whole bug thing started happening but this was the first time he was relieved despite Coco breaking down. Exactly because it was made obvious she has an angel watching over her at all times. I feel like it's a very nice thing to have as the ground basis of any sort of relationship.
