the way this was worded kept making me giggle DHFSJDHF anyway I think reko can't properly do degradation cuz being overly harsh to someone she loves rings a little too close to the old reko for her so she compromises for nao (whos actually into it) by it being implied but never doing it too harshly or directly and mixing in praise with it immediately after... they're horribly sweet to each other ♡
