The Development of Papa Rei
“Not” Papa Rei: Rejecting the idea entirely.
“Sure, I guess I’m” Papa Rei: Saving her from being dragged away. First nudge at acceptance. Papa Rei? c:
“Hell yeah I’m” Papa Rei: Smug that Miri is raving about Papa Rei over Papa Kazuki to her friends. Enjoying being Papa Rei? uwu
“Content” Papa Rei: Happy to hear his daughter call his name in her sleep. The teeniest hint of a smile ;~; Creeping towards full papa.
“Protective/Worried” Papa Rei: Staying by her side while she sleeps when she’s sick to make sure she’s okay. Transitioning to PAPA REI.
“Happy” Papa Rei: Full of love coming home seeing his daughter and partner work so hard to give him a good birthday. PAPA REI ^~^
“Supportive” Papa Rei: Finally cheering on his little girl :’) He really is Papa.
“Selfless” Papa Rei: “Miri comes first.” WHAT. A. PAPA. MOVE.
FULL FLEDGED PAPA REI. “I am her papa, I want to be her father.” FIGHTING FOR HIS DAUGHTER.
God I love this man so much I will never stop raving about him.

Episode 9 Rei smile count (or smile frames count) and why
Miri thanks him for the rice balls he's made
2. About to beat everyone's asses in Miri's sake with Kazuki
3. He keeps smiling as he runs!
4. Happy he fulfilled Miri's wish and helped her win
5. Still same smile as the earlier one, but gosh this frame is so beautiful
6. Happy after race that he made her smile
7. Smiling both at the fact that Miri considers him her family and just the peaceful moment they all share (Miri laughing, Kazuki moved to tears)
8. The picture that's going to lead us to ruin
9. Not exactly a smile, but we've never seen such a peaceful look on his face. It's like he's wearing this very gentle smile just like the sunshine falling on him and his beloved family
10. Smile at Kazuki's praise
11. He keeps smiling thinking about the next year with all three of them together
Let's be serious. This episode is a huge moment for Rei. He knows what he wants to do. He wants to be with Miri and Kazuki. He wants to protect Miri, doesn't want any harm happen to her if not the two of them (Miri + Kazuki). Let's just hope he doesn't suddenly disappear after watching Miri asleep and thinking that for her best he should abandon them. And if that does happen, he better come back and do everything in his power to find a way for them to be together.
WE GOT MORE SMILES IN ONE EPISODES THAN IN TOTAL I THINK
next episode count (ep10)

fellas is it gay to have matching left shoulder bullet scars with your buddy who agreed to help you raise a child, after you both have undergone a year's worth of character growth and development, becoming happier and finding a sense of purpose in life, and after having your whole lives that you built over the past year crumble, agree to leave the business you're so deeply involved in, in order to rebuild that life and dedicate the rest of your life to it, no matter the stakes you need to overcome to do it, as you've realized you became a true family?

Me when my found family anime continues to be a found family and have a time-skip cameo where they're still living together and have opened a diner by the sea :

teenage miri needs to be the heroine of a shoujo in which all the usual shoujo things happen like high school shenanigans awkward first love etc etc but the whole time in the background you keep seeing her two dads who are in a very ambiguous relationship and you’re like funky ok. wonder what the story is there. they seem to really love her tho. but then that only gets more confusing the more they talk because they casually mention stuff about years-old bullet wounds or when miri’s complaining about some guy teasing her too much rei unironically starts an anatomy lesson on all the best places to stab someone and one time she jokes about their silly little diner actually being a front for the mafia and kazuki looks like he’s gonna have a heart attack. so while the majority of each episode is miri learning about the power of female friendship and knowing your self worth there is always these snatches of rei and kazuki HEAVILY implying they have both killed numerous people before. and the show just never offers any explanation
