Honoka can really see how Suzuka feels, though. She knows they're rivals.. or, at least, Honoka wants to believe she has a shot. But, unfortunately, Yamato isn't even looking at her that way. He only thinks about Suzuka. But having someone else declare their interest in the person you like so plainly to you... it does make you start to seriously think about how you show your own feelings, I figure. I can see this as a potential turning point for how Suzuka treats him. Not that she won't still have moments where she's tough with him, when she thinks he needs it, but I'm thinking she might ease up more on him in general.
