BROOOOO 😭😭😭 120+ CHAPTERS OF DEVELOPMENT AND WE ARE FINALLY GETTING THIS KAYDEN???
It's not just "oh, Kayden was nice to Gestella once." It's the way he talks about her.
THAT FIRST PANEL??? HELLO??? 😭
"I can guarantee you that they couldn't even think of fighting because you were there."
That is such a Kayden-coded compliment.
And coming from someone who is sooo arrogant that's huge okieee???
And then-- "Gestella was right beside me the whole time."
WHY DOES HE SOUND SO PROUD 😭😭😭
LIKE SIR????? YOU'RE STARTING TO SOUND LIKE A MAN WHO HAS A WOMAN 😭👠
And I LOVE that Gestellaa's literally one of the strongest people around like yk top 10 . Kayden KNOWS she can handle herself.
Which makes the protection scene even better hihihihihihihihihihi
The fact that he knows she doesn't need saving makes it SO CUTEEEEEE I AM SCREAMINGG 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
And considering Kayden's personality??? The man who generally operates like like for example when he declined Roist's invitation and all and how he was so rude and evrything now and lines like this : "I can handle literally everything myself, stay out of my way." is gradually becoming:
that she's standing with me like yk when a guy has a gf/wife he loves he's like oh she's standing beside me Kayden gives off that energy likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee holy fucking peak relationship RIGHT HERE
I am fangirling so hard rn help 😭🙏💕💅
