....................i am so skeptical of her. i feel like she's just being impulsive, and that this impulsivity will make it harder for them to realize that she's the real manipulative one. idk just thinking about tactics of abusers and how they appeal to the people around them to look like "the nice guy" or "oh she's not that bad she's just a little lost" i feel like they'll end up sympathizing/supporting her wayyyy more than they should. haruki is gonna cry, they'll listen to her with a bleeding heart, and they feel torn about telling her to end things with yuusuke bc she's so sad
EVEN THO THEY SHOULDN'T BC OF ALL THE REASONS THEY SAID (shes still with her bf, she's and adult for chrissake) but who knows.
i get that dai and akane want to talk to haruki first, as she is the technical adult in this situation, and their friend so i guess that's why they wanna speak to her first. HOWEVER i think that they should have talked to yuusuke, heard everything from his perspective, and let him know that they'll still support no matter what. just so that he knows he has allies and that he can break things off with haruki without putting them in an awkward situation (they are still technically coworkers) and so dai and akane realize just how manipulative haruki is.
on a lighter note, yuusuke around maki now that he's aware of his feelings for her are so cute lol. so sweet LMAO cute high school love/crush. he really is not living up to his image as a cool guy and i love it.
