Not now, Karen, seriously! You couldn't wait a hot second after hearing it from a guy, and not hearing it straight from your friend who you were so careful not to offend before? I'm getting exhausted from the MC getting pulled around though. I hope this gets a little less complicated soon. I don't hate Shirotaka, he doesn't realize he's making these moves because he's starting to like Hitsuji, and is getting frustrated with Fujiwara treading water while she's got him on his mind.
