Short summary: “Look at me” he used to think.
“Look at me” Chihiro used to think, when Akashi and everyone else was comparing him to Kuroko, until that happened. And then, when everyone started looking, he no longer wanted to be seen.
The explanation, of course, comes much later – hours, days, months later. The explanation being that Chihiro’s feelings for Akashi were not trivial or straightforward. It wasn’t just about basketball, or being a senior, or his sense of self. Chihiro just wanted to be the one who was loved.
Too late for that, Chihiro thinks, but he’s wrong. Akashi does see him, just only now with clear eyes.
