That's up to speculation at this point. I'd go with the notion she has finally realized her feelings, and they run very deep. Categorizing and labeling those with words like "need", "love", "affection", when these ultimately tend to mean exactly the same is pointless, in my opinion.
She does love him, and that realization will have lots of consequences, I'd wager. I, for one, can't wait for the next episode - and the next translated chapter/volume.
