Keiths first words left Kolivan speechless after Keith had called him dad with an enthusiasm they couldnt understand. A sense of belonging, they hadnt felt for deca-phoebs. Observed him from afar. Which then makes it especially frustrating for Shiro's final moment to be a scene of him marrying some ancillary male character with whom he had zero romantic development of explored chemistry.
