Also, theirs is a game of equals. He can't come out and say it all at once.
It teases more and allows for more emotional development.

True, I have to admit that I'm annoyed more because it's us the readers who are being teased, not either of them. Since they both know what's actually being admitted, it makes no difference which word he used (they've both been trying to avoid saying it for two volumes now). But you just know Holo will use his admission as ammunition, probably sooner rather than later, and I'm not looking forward to hearing such a weak word being casually thrown around

Still, thanks for humoring my childish rant.. it was fun.
