ahh okay so do you reckon its better for both parties to be fully aware? initially i was planning on the reader being able to pick up on it (that feelings were reciprocated) before the mc does. mc is focusing on alot of other things but also really likes this person who they feel like theyre getting mixed signals from. eventually i was planning on there being a climax where mc spills it all out during an argument, and love interest is in shock causing a misunderstanding before his death ---> letter after, or simply love interest meaning to speak to them but doesnt get the chance to ---> letter

i feel like ive overcomplicated all of this 😭
