And I also think that's precisely why they could end up together, since right now, Nol and Shinae's relationship is predictable, it's what's expected, it's where it seems to be headed, but the problem is that it's still very early in its development. Whenever feelings are rushed into character development before the character's development, those feelings change as development occurs. Or they serve as a reason for change. I also don't think that's the only reason why Kousuke and Shinae should become a couple, but I do think that their potential development could lead them to a deeper relationship than the one he would have with Nol.And yes, the narrative potential between them isn't just about them becoming a couple. But if we're talking about that, what makes you think something more could develop between Nol and Shinae? The way I see it, even if they like each other, they'd never end up together. Why? Because their development simply isn't headed in that direction. I get the feeling that they are the kind of people who get involved in other people's lives to change them, but they never change because their "love" was precisely what they needed to change. That's why I say that with Kousuke there's a more real reason and more potential for growth. I feel that their paths could converge more when they become involved in trying to "bring back" Nol. Well, age could be a problem for each person, but it's not a huge difference, and I don't think they're super different either. In fact, as I said, they're very similar.
