Yeah but there's also the thing with his family (from chapter 32): he clearly feels inadequate when he's around them, and Urumin is almost like a lifebuoy or a beacon of light to him, so he's been desperately latching onto her. She isn't the only one keeping him afloat (there's also Kuzutani), but she definitely plays a big part in him not acting and feeling like a complete mess with no reason to live anymore.That part reads to you like it's his thought as if he was a normal person/fan.
But he's not. He's a mega-otaku whose thought patterns don't follow common logic or human tendency. He'd happily be labeled a hosare-ota and continue on because there is nothing conditional about his actions.
Though everyone knows that. But I think its worth pointing out because his public actions and his internal thoughts are very much in line all the time. He has never deviated from this consistency, he isn't going to now.
To me, the "who am I here for?" felt not like Kimiya beeing angry at Urumin, but like him losing his light and the only thing that made him feel like he mattered to anyone. So I actually think now would be the perfect time for him to deviate from his usual behaviour. And then of course, he's going to come back to her, and they're going to get closer together, and hopefully, he'll be able to form a new and healthier kind of bond with Urumin. But before that, he has to stop seeing her as nothing more than his idol, and start seeing her as a girl. Because if he doesn't, their relationship just won't be able to grow, and nothing is ever going to change. And I think (and hope) this is exactly what we're heading to.
