That's usually not how people perceive others efforts, but well, can't really tell who's right here. But I think you will also agree that it doesn't feel like Hikari needs to put extra effort into studying well, she is just smart. So why would she give him a shot if he gets on the level of...

Yeah, and in this quote he was talking about that last year only. ? But he is talking about her mixed signals, not about his own. And she knows she only started treating him differently one year before. No, those were my own words. But it would most likely feel this way, when someone gets into...

He didn't say he had thought she didn't like him. This is just an argument for the sake of argument. Hikari knows she was the same with him since their childhood, and that only changed one year ago, so obviously he could only be talking about the last year. If he has to try his best to achieve...

But we know (and Yuu knows, and Hikari knows) that she started sending mixed signals only one year ago, before that it was crystal clear to him that she didn't care. So he was definitely talking only about the last year. And since he mentioned liking her since forever, he would have to explain...

No, I meant that he would have to explain why he didn't confess before, like in middle school, what he was doing to actually confess and what it resulted in. He is being evasive to avoid talking about all that. "Misreading signals" only applies to the last year when those mixed signals were...

Quotes? I reread both chapters and didn't really find "the same language" there. I don't want to second guess, so please tell me what exactly you meant. Maybe masking was a wrong word, but that's the line he goes with every time he doesn't want to reveal all of his real feelings. We don't know...

I'd argue he consistently jumps to this point to hide his actual feelings. He did it with Yami in chapter 23, he did it in the first "confession" to Hikari, and we know he was masking his real feelings behind this excuse both times. So in his "real" confession he goes for the similar line to...

We definitely went through this once already - this is where I bring up him saying the same to Yami and her immediately recognizing him trying to hide his crush behind this catching up. This is how the conversation unfolded: 1. I question whether he really puts Hikari on a pedestal, claiming...

I think you're adding an extra layer where it's unnecessary. She doesn't see him as a boy. He thinks he needs to do something that changes this situation. He goes for a solution that should surprise her, make her aware of his big efforts (because the school is not on his academic level) and make...

If it was just about her recognizing that he likes her, he could just confess, it doesn't change anything about the situation. The point was to make her see him in a different light while also letting her know he is doing it because of her. We've discussed this already, but I will say it again -...

Well, it was relevant for that specific time when they were in middle school and when he tried to enroll in the same school as her. Yeah, I don't disagree with this part, I am mostly contesting that this was his repeated mistake from before. If this wasn't an important point for you, then we're...

I mean, this whole idolizing/putting her on pedestal part only comes from his own words. We've never really seen it in his actions or decisions. You might argue he never confessed to her because of "thinking he was not worthy of her", but from his POV chapters we've seen that he just realized...

They also say that So she is obviously still deeply shocked, no matter if it's her conscious decision not discuss their private matter or not.

I agree but for a different reason (and I said this already in leak discussion) - while he is sure Haru and Yuki would keep supporting Hikari, it was quite likely they would single out Yami and start blaming her. It's probably just about all the intimate moments and the private stuff she shared...

In simple calculus you usually try to avoid dealing with false premises. And with the notion of "objectivity" of course.

Not only are they unaware of most stuff concerning her, but also they can't "know" something that isn't even true. "Her planning this out", yeah, right.

I agree with most of what you wrote, but when you say "repeating his past mistakes of just simply assuming she's fine", what are you referring to? When did he do it before?

All the while thinking it's all a lie? All the while explaining why she can only keep lying? There is even a part where she almost drops the facade because Hikari called him the "wrong" name: Okay, let's stop here. At this point I can't help but think you're the one convincing yourself. I...

Because demeaning something you hold dear or badmouthing someone you love can hurt even if you don't mean it. In a hypothetic situation where I'd be saying hateful things about my parents, I would feel terrible for sure. There is nothing in the text that suggests that she is convincing herself...

She is saying that to Hikari, all the while thinking it's a lie. So where is the part where she's convincing herself? Is this really the part that makes you think she is convincing yourself? Because for me it's quite clear that just saying aloud that the boy she loved so much "didn't matter to...
