Even though the words "I love you" has never been said by her, her actions fit all of my stated definition.
I do get the strong wishes to hear the words though! I would really like T to say the words. If she ever said it, I'd want her to say it again and again and again.
My parents, if they say the words, say the words "love you" mechanically with no feeling. And their actions definitely don't show love. While T's actions do.

He said it, and I keep replaying it in my head
I'm sure he'll never say it again. It seems he didn't like that I've posted here about it. He was like: "Huh, you posted something about me saying "I love you"?". He didn't look angry, I'd say "surprised" and "confused". This confirmed that he actually regrets saying it...
Yes, his actions definitely show platonic love. He also uses the words "like", "attachment", "sympathy", "care". But not "love".
