So this is where gaga's subs for Chaser Game W failed to capture a critical nuance.
Itsuki uses "suki" -- which means like or love, it's not as intense.
Fuyu uses "aishiteru" -- which means LOVE, it's deeper and more intense.

A note, an intimacy coordinator is unheard of in the Japanese entertainment industry. They help with setting boundaries between costars and Kiko was grateful to have one on the set of “Kanojo/Ride or Die.” She did feel pressure to be nude to “make it” in the business.

I think some people are confused why Fuyu called herself a lesbian and didn't call herself bisexual. It's possible that being with Koh and then seeing herself with Itsuki again, she realized that Koh wasn't it. Sexuality is fluid, everything isn't so black & white.

Do we really have to explain the D/M/C/A topic again? There's a reason why there's a vetting system. Fansubbers want to keep things on the down-low to avoid D/M/C/As and C&Ds. At any moment, a single C&D can shut a server down.
