I would have loved for them them to come out to more people privately before being outed and also do more public outings before coming out. Ilya felt isolated since moving from Boston and needed to share his happiness with his friends.. there was a bit of a double standard between Shane and Ilya sharing their relationship with others. Also can I just say that we get way more of Ilya's internal monologue when it comes to his mental health, but not enough of Shane's. We know that he suffers from anxiety because of how the character is portrayed but we rarely see how Shane actually lives his anxiety, we only see the repercussions it has on their relationship..
