It was him though, he was the one who sent the message. No, their point was that she can't feel love at all.

That's not the same as "putting the onus on Hikari and Yuu to "save her", that's just describing their past. Yuu also said in chapter 47 (novel) that she had saved him, does it mean he is doing the same? Regardless of why she did it, again, that's beyond the point. Not doing the right thing...

You mean her words from 45.5? I wouldn't say it's the entire characteristic of her love. Eh, isn't that more of an indication that the love she feels for Yuu is just stronger? Talking to Hikari is the "right" thing to do, but it being right has nothing to do with love.

You clearly expressed an opinion about the character and then said it's irrelevant. It is indeed irrelevant in the sense that it ignores two volumes of narration. But I was talking more about how a negative attitude leads to basically dehumanizing people, fictional or real. I've seen it a lot...

Yeah, right. A character I don't like = a character incapable of good things, basically a lesser being.

Yes. I was just saying that learning that he is doing it of his own volition doesn't trick her into thinking they are gonna reunite as a couple. Hope - for sure. And yeah, I agree that Christmas carries a lot of romantic weight. I just doubt she is thinking anything like "when he comes, we will...

They did, but I doubt Hikari was constantly on alert 24/7, ready to jump into action once she got a message from Yuu. Besides, I think Hikari is too earnest for that. To give Yami a choice and then make that choice pointless by coming along feels like an unfair thing Hikari would avoid to do.

It's more like gauging how much he cares, she's worried it's just out of obligation/because Hikari asked. Well, yeah, she most likely wants to meet him not because she wants his help with mending her relationship with Hikari, but because she loves him. But that doesn't really mean that she...

Nah, I doubt she thinks that with her low self-esteem. If you're referring to the "reunion" from the novel version, I'm pretty sure it's not about a "romantic" reunion but rather just about meeting him again.

According to the web novel, Yuu came to meet Yami as fast as he could in just 20 minutes after she called. He could message Hikari from the train, but it's unlikely she is involved in any other way.

After the previous chapter I thought Yami choosing to call Hikari could maybe mean that it's wrapping up soon. She did not. It feels like there's a lot more to show here, and I think the next chapter or two might end in another heartbreak for all parties involved. So I doubt it's ending any time...

I see your point, but: 1. She was asking in the past tense 2. She already knows he has/had feelings for her and the fact that he was dating Yami strongly suggests that he had feelings for her as well. So, in the end, she knows he had feelings for both of them and she still doesn't openly...

I wonder if anyone actually thinks she feels romantic attraction towards Yami or those are just jokes / wishful thinking. Because that's certainly not the case, and Yuki's question is just confirming it. Most people would feel offended if someone else actually suggested that they romantically...

For me personally it doesn't count until we see her as an actual character, not a force of nature. It did makes sense, but she's still a plot device until then.

Yeah, of course. What I mean is, by the time it happened, readers couldn't say "since Yami is this kind of person, I can see why she did this and how this even happened". We simply didn't know much about her and didn't follow her plotline. I could imagine it working this way in Maruto's head...

I don't remember him saying that to be honest. The original drama was clearly included in the characterization, Yami was already created as Yuu's ex and obviously the festival scene did not happen "organically". But I can see everything after working as characters naturally doing their own things.

I am with you, though I don't think it's wrapping up, see Maruto's comment above: I like his thinking of "I create these characters and then they do their own thing". My best experience with this kind of writing was Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman. I hope Maruto can pull it off here as well.

I see your point, but I think there are different sentiments in "You shouldn't have liked me" and in "There was no way she could like me". In the first case, it's deciding for the other person, in the second case, it's merely weighing your own chances. Besides, he already said that in chapter...

She is already aware of his low self-esteem, she even said a few lines about it throughout the story. Hm? That's not his line of thought. He isn't thinking "she shouldn't have liked me", he is thinking "there was no way she liked me". Or am I taking your words too literally? His inferiority...

Wouldn't that actually put her in a tight spot? Because she knows she would've rejected him back then, she said as much in chapter 17.
