my reasoning for that is: galo’s ignorance isn’t all that surprising given his personality. at this point in the movie, the man only cares about extinguishing fires and, dare i say, a certain mad burnish leader after their first encounter. he’s also frustrated after witnessing the capture of an innocent burnish and thinking about how his actions would affect his hero, kray (him being public figure and all). basically galo has a shit ton of stuff on his mind. he’s also not the type to half-ass things and the scene shows how he’s straight forward to a fault. hence his simple comment “you’re you, aina.” the man also gets off on rescuing people, so naturally he’d reach out to grab her, but at this point he notices the flames of the burnish escapees and his attention from her is completely gone.

as for the pink triangle symbolism, the memo i linked (from twitter user kia_prma) in the initial anon response talks about this! tbh i’m uneducated in this aspect cause i had no idea how much how a symbol the pink triangle meant to the LGBTQ+ society until i looked it up. as i’m reading about it though, i remember briefly learning about its history. i can’t say much about it strictly being a western symbol, it’s obviously not, but it’s definitely there. naturally people would tie promare and the symbol together.

now from my understanding of japanese and LGBTQ+ culture is that while it is more accepting than most asian countries, representation in media simply wasn’t a thing until recently. even then, i feel like it’s still selective (someone @ me if you wanna legit talk about it with facts. educate me cause i’m merely a western weeb.) there are select anime from the past, yes, but i remember when yuri on ice came out in 2016, it was a huge deal. 

the point of all my rambling is that trigger of course didn’t have this symbolism in mind. in the memo, op writes, “As far as I have read from the Japanese publications, the pink triangle in Promare is actually coming from their idea of representing the main characters in symbols.” The triangle is simply meant to represent lio and him being mad burnish. As for the color choice, it’s purely a coincidence.
