I could understand reading into the first picture, but the 2nd one?
You've totally lost me... her going shopping with Lutz and her sister (where they fail to get clothes that appeal to her) is the slow start? (or are you referring to Lutz and her sister being together as a couple?... interesting, but still wtf!?)

nah I just use the picture for Lutz and Tully... The ending made people question these two but when you reread it since they are not main characters but side characters you'll get the intention as to how... They had denial chapters (both Tully and Lutz) saying they will never be in that situation... Lutz denied it to his brother and mother then Tully denied it with her co-workers... I can't imagine who proposed but I think it was Lutz, its impossible it came from Tulli since she was written the same as her mother (career oriented)... Lutz in the end fulfilled his dream of becoming a traveling merchant...
here are the situations they got closed offscreen (they never interact on the trip to forest it was always Ralph trying to impress her)
-the first ones is whenever Myne got sick with the devouring...
-their first rivalry
-her internship to Corrina's its the same (they had more time seeing each other and they always go home together.. meanwhile around this time Maine is sent home by her attendants or guard... (spoiler) this has continued ever since Maine got adopted... They go home together until Tulli was 10...
-the trip back and forth to the orphanage/the forest trip
-Lutz becoming intermediary in the end this becomes Mark or Benno's job (spoiler)...
there are a lot hints in the later arc that lead to their denial chapters (where everyone confront them if there is something going on...)

its HELLA weird but kinda refreshing at the same time … if that makes sense. (considering how life is actually weird like that)
I honestly cant help still feeling weirded out thought... We're all so use to pairings coming to fruition or just remaining super ambiguous. (especially guys with their dumb harems that make zero sense)

So... I feel like this last episode (S2E6 for those of u in the future) was pretty much the foreshadowing of the relationships changing...
Jealousy from Ferdinand when Myne talks about Lutz and Benno... Rejection from Lutz cus Myne is too weak to be "his strength".... Dissapointment from Tuli to Ralph from his behavior and apparently she keeps tabs on him about as much as Myne. and Lastly, interest from Myne when she finds out Ferdinand's name.
dont click if you dont want endgame spoilers
