(During this time period not only had Gorou been scolded by the others and forced to be apart from Kokomi, but, the others had started to eye him warily as if under the impression he'd elope with her whenever that isn't the case and hadn't been. For the time being they were all watching him up until eventually it began to relax more after returning home from their diplomatic outing. Thanks to it he finds himself now seated with letters he's sorting through, provided by his publisher aka quite truthfully a certain Guuji who often times made his life hell, with thoughts of providing some manner of hope to others in similar situations to him.
At first he works through them with ease until he comes across a very specific letter, The Lonely Medaka? All of it sounds familiar, enough he starts to wonder if it was in fact Kokomi only to brush it off. She likely wouldn't send a letter in for advice if she can reach the Traveler instead; that was part of why Gorou had been idly writing Kazuha on the side knowing the poet would be able to help maybe a little with his own words of wisdom.
Still... if on the off chance it was her, then he just couldn't let this go to waste whether it works out or not.)
Dear, The Lonely Medaka,
Allow me to preface this with it is quite the conundrum you face in general: if there is something I can recommend then maybe speaking with him to learn where his heart is for you and where your own might perhaps be after hearing his words. If you think it to be reciprocated despite your lack of experience, then there is the tried and trued method of confessing to him your heart.
I am not saying it works for everyone of course but if you find you must tell him then give yourself time to consider first on if you feel following your heart worth it. If you do, I can bet that he would be thrilled to know that you both feel the same in the end instead of silently and wistfully thinking of what could have been no matter your positions.
If you do believe that you wish to tell him, that perhaps even with that in mind you desire to be selfish then no matter what others may say or think, it is your heart and you do sound as if you do plenty well enough regardless of that. It shouldn't be their choice on who your heart goes to in the end after all as well.
So my thoughts is, tell him if you believe in your heart of hearts that it's something you want, something you're willing to take for yourself in hand and not let go of no matter what others may say or do were they to learn.
I hope that this helps you.
Ms. Hina.
(Hopefully this does help someone out more than what he's dealing with in the end. He'd have hated for them to also be suffering the same way he is with being uncertain on if he'd ever be allowed to say what lies in his heart, though his obligation is finished 'work' wise, that still leaves his letter to Kazuha, hopefully he reads it so he can have a bit of help.
Even if Gorou isn't certain if he might get back to him in time once he places the letters he finished neatly into their stack, each ready to publish though he idly wonders if he should ask Guuji Yae to tell him where that familiar letter came from.
... admittedly he decides against it for his sanity, she'd not let him know the information with ease once he sends out the letters back to her knowing she's likely waiting for them given he didn't have opportunity to do his advice column while at work in the city.
A fact which amused that fox, a gut feeling he had about it really once he gets ready to settle for now knowing the magazine will be published with these letters answer by the morning.
Maybe by then he'll get to see Kokomi to figure out if he can still tell her or not. Maybe he won't, all he knows is that he will figure out something perhaps later.)
