This was such a sweet, sappy (in a good way, i promise!), adorable story! I loved Pastille so much, he was just so earnest even though he was super shy and anxious. And Peri using lewdness to avoid being emotionally available was so relatable, it really is a struggle to voice your feelings and be that open, even with people who youve been open with in other ways. Their relationship was so cute to watch blossom.
