there was an acceptance from the mother, i don't know if didn't catch that or what, but it's when the mother told chihiro to use blankets when they sleep together, that's a way of starting the acceptance. it doesn't need to be addressed bc it was obvious the mom will accept them eventually based on her reaction everytime shuu tell her that he's going on a date. and you can't possibly swallow everything in one snap, that the son he thought was straight was not all along, it needs understanding and acceptance to go through it all.
No development from the mother. So what.... They're not going to meet each others eyes from now on?! That they'll always be hiding from each other?! No acceptance, no rejection, like their relationship is left hanging. This isn't the proper way to build a relationship if you respect your mom.
Wouldve been so good if the relationship between the son and the mother was addressed.
