Wow, this actually feels mature for a harem manga. Kuzuhana getting the vibes that Madoka has feelings for Saotome and has for a while, wanting to let her at least get them out even if it means her crush doesn't bloom. Takae picking up the implications Kuzuhana was putting down to leave Saotome alone for a bit. Damn, they actually feel like people.
Now please just don't have Madoka pull some bullshit and ruin this progress
