Just try reading those lines from Safu:
“So, what kind of flower is a ‘shion’?”
“Uh… a perennial flower that’s part of the Asteraceae family, if I remember correctly. The stem grows up to 1.5 metres high, and it blooms with light purple flower heads…”
“Shion, I don’t want to hear an…
I absolutely love those parts, even if they hurt me so much.
Because it just shows how much Safu loved Shion. And how his feelings were so completely different for her, and that she loved him like he loved Nezumi, but he had no idea. She was his dear childhood friend. But he never thought about needing to know more about her. He never realized that she wanted to know about him as much as he wanted to know about Nezumi.
And I’ll just say now that I /love/ Safu, especially in the novels. And I very much love Nezumi and Shion’s relationship and how they are so drawn to each other in the way only soulmates are, and I would never separate them.
But I think that makes it hurt so much more when I realize how much Safu loved Shion, and how much she wanted to be with him. But she never even had a chance. She was never even considered by Shion in that way. She’s a strong character, and she never did anything wrong. She never once stood a chance against Nezumi in Shion’s heart. She was never a “cockblock” as a lot of the fandom likes to think. This shows it, without 100% of a doubt, that she never would have been able to pull Nezumi and Shion apart. What she learned from loving Shion, Shion learned from loving /Nezumi/.
And I just wish she had been able to find her happy ending with someone as much as I want Shion and Nezumi to find their happy ending together. Because, despite knowing how he feels about her, despite knowing that his love is for someone else, Safu still gives up so much for him. She is still strong enough to say: “All I wanted was to /see/ you.” She doesn’t try to take him away and keep him for herself. She just wants to see him one last time before she gives herself up. To save the city, and help it become a place where horrible things won’t happen anymore. To keep Shion and Nezumi alive, and her feelings are strong enough to affect the feelings of a /goddess/.
And now I’m rambling, but this parallel just gives me a lot of feels.
People speak sometimes about the “bestial” cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.
