no but forreals i really appreciate ch 391 and how it gave us a glimpse of the twins' relationship dynamics now as adults. It teaches us two things: 1. Their characters have both definitely matured; 2. Doing what u genuinely love can have an effect on how u interact w/ other ppl
As to the 1st point:
It wasn't enough to just physically depict the twins as adults in the series to indicate their maturity and furudate knew that considering how they were some of the most immature characters that were written pre-timeskip.

They fought constantly even well into their late-teens and furudate knew that this had to be addressed somehow and hence ch 391--the miya twins are more civil, slow to insensitive banter, and openly talking about vulnerabilities which leads me to my 2nd point +
2nd point: doing what u genuinely love affects the way u interact w/ others.
Now I'm not going to say that osamu was unhappy w/ vball. But when he declared in hs how he wasn't going to pursue it like atsumu, at that point it established how he knew it wasn't for him +

Tbh when i first read that ch where osamu said he was going to quit vball, that made me ask 'how long has he felt this way?' If it so happened that osamu wasn't that particularly happy anymore w/ vball much earlier on, then that might have explained some of the tension w/ atsumu
The twins already clashed in personalities, but if u factor in how osamu was doing something with his twin for so long & how he must have realized that this wasn't for him while being in the constant presence of someone who hungered for it, that just creates more tension +
So two lessons/pieces of information i felt like were provided to us by furudate in the context of the twins' timeskip relationship:
1. They've matured individually
2. And the maturity happened in part due to them realizing what made them the happiest respectively

To conclude: stan haikyuu. A truly well-written story with such a well-developed cast of characters. I'll definitely be shedding tears once it's over.
