----------------------------------------
I love it when a manga uses a full page drawing and effectively splits it into panels and dialogue to hone in on a character's feelings.

Back when Satoko was helping Nao choose a present, she noted how she was the opposite of her, noting the traits she lacked. Like how Nao was straightforward with her feelings and was able to say them out loud whereas Satoko would bury them deep down.

Now it's Nao who sees they're opposites not only in appearance but in personality. And naturally, it makes her envious and emotional, causing her to lash out at Satoko.
Satoko does her best to comfort her despite her own conflicting feelings.
Nao's dealing with heartbreak but through this, her perspective's grown beyond things that are simply "black" or "white".

Satoko and Mashuu's relationship is a unique friendship, one you don't see everyday. It's something that's between them.
Something they need to work out.
A good author leaves the audience enough material to be satisfied with, yet yearning for more.

I love how the writer made out their relationship to have no definite status... in the sense that it has to be either black or white.

The bond between Mashuu and Satoko is a very deep and special bond, they've created their own little world and its a deeper bond than just friendship. Its comfort, It's loving someone and caring for someone wholeheartedly .. its not something as simple as black or white. Its a rare and precious bond that surpasses friendship and I would say it also surpasses just simple romantic feelings. its genuinely caring for that human being with your whole heart. Its a unique kind of love. And these relationships aren't just black or white. Nothing in life really is of you think about it.. Humans are complex beings you can't always either be this or that... sometimes you're in that grey area that doesn't really have a definite answer but you're happy.

I can't wait to see how this develops

This "neither black nor white" spiel feel like an excuse to stand for nothing. Yes, things in life are complicated and don't always fit neatly into arbitrary labels. But Nao is right, being vague about everything should not be an end goal of any kind of relationship.
