i kinda understand why sue is so hung up on this relationship, she genuinely felt loved by him when they were together and when he left he shattered her hopes of being loved by anyone (especially because of the added context of her heart count not moving at all) so she really had no way to move on from him to any other person and since he was her last boyfriend (and a better one than the first) he was the only person she recall while thinking about romantic life









i have no idea if he's flirting on purpose with everyone or it's just his nature, bcs the gardening lady is so VISIBLY smitten (like gurl get a grip before you lose this job) but it very much looks like he knows he has an impact and tried pushing it
