In the extract below I am a bit unsure as to who is performing the parts in
bold. Story is told from 相葉's point of view.

名残惜しむように doesn't look like something I imagine someone would use to describe
their own actions (although I could be wrong). This leads me to think that the
actor for 名残惜しむように手の指を絡めあって is 八城, however I am thinking that it could
possibly be referring to them both.

Who is performing these actions
> 名残惜{なごりお}しむように手{て}の指{ゆび}を絡{から}めあってから、きゅっと握{にぎ}り。
>
> そして離{はな}すと、八城{やしろ}は潤{うる}んだ目{め}で俺{おれ}を見{み}て。

The key word here is 「あう/合う」 in 「絡め **あって** 」. It is written in kana because
it is a subsidiary verb in this phrase.

It **always** takes at least two persons to:

> 「Verb in Continuative Form + あう」
>
> "doing something **to/for/with/toward each other**."

If you are performing an action _**solo**_ , you cannot use 「あう/合う」 in the
first place. So, we say 「愛しあう」、「殺しあう」、「助けあう」、「見つめあう」, etc.

Thus, it is most natural to conclude that the unmentioned subjects of all of
the verb phrases should be the _**two characters**_.

「名残惜しむ」 = "to be reluctant to leave (each other)"

「手の指を絡めあって」 = "laced our fingers (and)"

「握り」 = "held our hands"

「そして離すと」 = "and let go of our hands"
