In my mind the next logical step is for Shuumei to come out as a man to Hana but not reveal his identity, leading Hana to think he’s just like Shizuku (AKA trans/ genderqueer) and be like “you’re still you, Mei. My feeling won’t change.” Also works visa versa. Obviously I wish the big reveal would just happen already, but if they really need to draw this out even more I think the above scenario would be hysterical.
