Interesting... so, Haruta gained the trauma of responsibility from guilt to protect his friends from being hurt again, from his mother's demand, along with Ichika's mother who seems to have revealed the truth in some form or another to Haruta that if they're exposed, they'll be sent to internment, while the parents will have their memory erased which Ichika's mother insinuated to Haruta on the phone (in the past) when discussing on why Ichika continues to live with her, while (btw, in secret from Ichika) Haruta and Izumi live together.

It's intriguing how his mother and Ichika's mother, in some manner or another has placed Haruta in this secret protective role of high responsibility to keep his friends safe to avoid them being locked out of even less freedom and never seeing their family again, in high private supervision. "Internment".

It's weird considering how mature Izumi seems, but apparently, as even he agrees with Haruta, Haruta is the most reliable out of the three.

He learned to cook, and drive, while his friends haven't.
Potential future inferiority complex, or at least just an addition to frustration of their restricted lives compared to Haruta.

A single page could tell as much story as was told in this chapter.

Just finished binging this. I'm guessing that Haruta isn't part of the trial. For starters, the fact that he still ended up with a broken arm isn't consistent with what the treatment is capable of. He was probably just roped in because he was a witness and a convenient guardian to the other two (which is to say nothing of his and his family's sense of responsibility). I also wouldn't be surprised if his disability is fake and just an excuse to watch over the other two even more.
