No, that’s not all she sees him as! He’s an obnoxious widower from a good family who also happens to be hung up on his late wife. For some reason, he’s still fun to drink with, but that isn’t the point. The point is that Shura has no idea how to handle this, and Strange just batted down the easiest argument she could make.

“That’s just it. You’re not over her. Men don’t get over that kind of thing.” So fine, she doesn’t want to get into her history, but there’s a hint that she might have a complex about something. “You can’t just grab someone who you think matches what you miss in her and expect it to work!”

His relationship with his father wasn’t great, apparently, but if Strange was willing to risk his own comfort to pursue his wife, then he clearly was into her.

But really, it was time to start looking for an exit. Why was Shishi just sleeping through this??
