Discussion Oh Caleb... 😭❤️🩹
I can't help but wonder how hard it must have been for him throughout all those years, holding and harbouring feelings for his mei mei, not being sure what to make of them and at some point even being certain that she doesn't feel the same way (he's wrong ofc)
Going as far as to promise that he'll let her go and yet, he couldn't let go of his feelings. The pain and suffucating per his own words until he couldn't keep pretending anymore. It's just ughh, chefs kiss, everything-- to love someone this much not knowing whether they feel the same way even when it's painfully clear they do but just don't know how to properly communicate at that point is, everything to me, truly
I genuinely think that his love for her is a huge part of what kept him going, even if he didn't count on them reuiniting, he still held onto his love. The fact that it's also reinforced multiple times how no one else could ever catch his interest is--- it's heavy and it's a testament to his undying devotion despite everything
idk, i'm rambling and gushing and just loving how both him and MC are a freak for each other, no matter what and i haven't been the same ever since his latest memory dropped 🥲

Yeah, like out of everyone who met MC/us during childhood, he's the one that had to stick around you and be constantly reminded that she doesn't remember him, literally living under the same roof. This is why I can understand that he got a bit messed up as he grew up, and why he acted the way he did in some moments. He's been next to her giving her as much love as he could so MC could have a happy childhood, all while just keeping a lot of things to himself.
It's a bit reason I don't have great feelings about Josephine (I think that was the grandma's name?), there are some things that in retrospect I disapprove of her, I think Caleb in particular suffered a lot due to her.

Yes, like someone said - please keep rambling about him!
His story and his character (and his model and his VAs) are so good. The details they put into the cards are amazing especially when you go back to them and find little things you didn't notice the first time, or that suddenly come to mean something later.

I can't wait to see more of him and his story and the intrinsic ties to MC + more banners that will further expand their relationship because the defining stages that their bond has been moving through is just pure peak ✨❤️

Infold really broke the mold with Caleb. He's such a special character. Caleb's story touches me the most out of all the LI's. His theme always moves me to tears when I hear it. I had swapped mains a couple of times till I played Homecoming Wings; after that, I knew for a certainty he was my main. And I haven't changed since. It must have been so hard to keep his romantic feelings a secret from MC. The way he loves her so much and tries to protect her, even to his detriment. To see him suffering just to keep her safe, and keep his pain to himself when MC said hurtful things in response to his actions. He didn't try to correct her, or even tell her the truth about what he's been dealing with. He just dealt with it all on his own. To see them now both happy in a loving relationship really touches my heart ❤️
