Miya, screaming: FIRE BLOOD AND BRIMSTONE I'LL TEAR YOUR FLESH OFF TO THE BONE—

Langa, with his eyes wide in horror:

Miya: —I'LL WEAR YOUR SKIN LIKE IT'S A SUIT I'LL MAKE THAT SHIT LOOK SUPER CUTE—

Reki, equally concerned: ...is he ok?

Joe: He's fine. Believe me.

Renga: *look at Cherry*

Cherry, looking up from his book: I can't believe I'm saying this, but Kojiro is right. Strange, I know.

OK, so, I have been thinking about Sk8 a lot. I mean, haven't we all? And I have newly ramped up my belief that Renga will be canon (to some extent).

Today, we'll be looking at Langa's confession scene with his mother. When I originally watched this scene, skeptical me (having lived through many a gaybait), believed that Langa had misunderstood Nanako's question.

The major reason I have for this jaded opinion is this: Langa had mentioned in the past that his Japanese wasn't always good. He can't read or write it well, and at least once he thought he misunderstood someone because of language barriers. Furthermore, he echoed Nanako's confused 'what?', showing he's still just an oblivious idiot (who we love). As such, it's easy to think maybe he just misunderstood her words, and he thought she meant the other kind of 'like'.

HOW-EV-ER

After watching these scene again, I am happy to say that I was wrong.

Proof #1:

Langa's first reaction to Nanako suggesting he likes the person in question (Reki), is shock. Forget the little blush at the end, it's the SHOCK that proves it for me. He would only have that kind of reaction to the type of 'like' that meant romance. If he though his mother had meant 'as a friend', it would be extremely easy for him to agree. A complete non-issue. But because it suggested an emotion he had been trying to hide (and his mother discovered), he was in shock.

Proof #2:

When Nanako suggested he was honest and tell the person his feelings, he reacted with how embarrassing it was. If he thought it was just a matter of telling Reki that he liked him as a friend, I don't think Langa-- honest-to-the-point-of-bluntness-Langa-- would hesitate at all.

I'm sorry if this is shit is not new to you all, but it hit me like a ton of bricks and now I am even more psyched about episode 10 thank you for coming to my TED talk

Can we talk about Reki's mental health please?

Like I'm very happy to see him smile again, that he and Langa made up (Renga is canon and I'll die on this) and now I can see Reki feeling better to made up with the others (first on the list: Miya) but I don't feel right that it was just that.

Because what we saw today, he feeling good for being beaten up by three dudes who looked older than him, that was a form of self harm, and this wouldn't be the first time, on this post by @siriusly-the-best-bi they said how Reki since the very first episode showed signs of self harm in the way he pushed in his work despite his injured arm and he needing a break, or in ep 7 when he pushed himself beyond his limits.

Unconsciously or not, the fact is Reki has shown some forms of self-harm, that it's a big red flag, and don't forget about Oka's words from ep 1

"You know what sucks about the way you say ‘I’m fine?’ The fact you never really are.”

Which leads me to think that was not the first time that happened, that Reki was upset or bad but tried to cover it up. This is proof that Reki's issues have more context and have been there for a while. Reki spiraling in self-depracting and doubt thoughts was not something the writers took out of the blue, this must have happened before in a lower or higher scale, but I don't think what we saw on the anime is the first time.

Now there is the thing with Adam, Reki himself say it, he was scared of him and with reason, the poor boy surely developed PTSD, which is another issue on itself.

Also I think there is a reason all the fandom agrees Reki possible has an undiagnosed ADHD, another issue, which can be kind of frustrating if Reki doesn't know what is rally happening.

And now after seeing all of this and with how Reki spiraled I started to think Reki maybe has depression, or anxiety or both, I personally like to think about the anxiety but that is probably just me projecting and the last three points count more as hc or theories, but still I think I have some ground to stand, how Reki doubts himself, his insecurity, his hate towards himself, his down mood, he isolating himself, the self-harm (because again, there are more forms of sh than we see on screen) his self-steem issues (seen in ep 6 when he can't believe Langa's words about him being amazing).

You can't see me at the eyes and say this boy has a perfectly healthy and stable mental condition.

Even if he seems better now, there are some things that can't be forgotten. Reki is on my list of characters that need therapy now.

I highly doubt the anime will explore about it, with just two more episodes but a season 2 can be a nice opportunity for this but still I think Reki would benefice himself from some therapy, or at least have some help.

As for now I'm just happy to see Renga happy again and I hope for the next episode to have some Reki and Miya friendship so Miya can be happy again too qwq and for Adam to stay the hell away from the sunshine >:c

And well that's all, I just needed to rant a little.

Reki's Angst POV

So we'll going to have new episode This Saturday and since the recap doesn't include the breakup scene, I'm here to REMIND YOU OF THAT PAIN! I think we should look back at Reki's pain, so that watching Renga make up (hopefully in ep 10) can be more satisfying.

WARNING! this'll going to be HURTS!!

We found each other

God finally sent a friend to me when I needed it the most.

Skating with You, I believe it's Infinity.

But Naa Langa, how can you jump so high? What view did you see up there? Did you finally find someone more amazing than I could ever be? Am I just holding you back? I can't -... For me, it's unreachable.
