THERE IS NO PART NINE! NO! Okay, so there is. Thank you.
I like to imagine Nino's sister as an older version of him, with more sass because she's not an idol. And I really like the idea of her loving him and being protective of him in a kind of behind-his-back way--in part because I think that's how Nino might actually be about things. Giving the people he loves crap but secretly writing songs about them. :D
if it was just an unusual chacracter trait
It's a bit of both. This takes place only about two months before the bits in Tokyo and at this point (must go and fill in backstory!) they've known each other for at least half a year, probably closer to a year in full. Ohno is very 'my pace' about his life and I think--because Nino is a dude and not a girl and Japan wouldn't get upset about a DUDE friend--he figures he doesn't care who knows about his new friend. Indeed, until it gets out to the mainland that Nino is GAY and spending a lot of time with Ohno, nobody cares very much.
Kazue telling him the reason behind some of Nino's more puzzling behavior makes him...well, his determination to be with Nino despite Nino's objections is now iron clad. All of Nino's 'the world will chew us up and spit us out' attitude is now understandable but he also DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE WORLD. He cares about his friends and keeping their careers safe but other than that, he'd kiss Nino in the middle of Shibuya station if that's what it took to change his mind.
Long reply is rambling and long! Thank you for loving on me! ♥
