Shuraka:
-Shuraka probably has no experience with this kind of relationship. It will all be a first.
-Right now, Shuraka has a childhood crush for Tei that could easily be shattered by reality. It must transform into something bigger, stronger, and more real.
-It's possible that even the image of Tei in Shuraka's memory differs from the real Tei. Firstly, many years have passed, and memory plays tricks on us. Secondly, Tei has also changed over the years.
-He will have to give up that image in his head and find the courage to get to know the real Tei.
-If Shuraka was in love for so many years and imagined reuniting with Tei for so many years, he definitely has his own expectations and ideas about how their relationship with Tei should work out, how Tei should behave, and what their happiness should look like. And it's unlikely these expectations align with reality.
Most likely, in his ideas, there is only love and happiness in this relationship, but there is no room for learning each over, for problems, fears, grief, mistakes, a sad past, or sorrow.
-Perhaps he imagines that for Tei to be happy, it will be enough to be in Arnata, to have a palace, jewelry, delicious food, beautiful clothes, a blooming garden, and to be with Shuraka. But perhaps Tei (given how he lived in Lerakal) needs something else, some meaning, some cause, or purpose.
