>>2612739No, my complaint is Hisao failed to understand himself and he simultaneously never pushed to understand Hanako despite complaining about it regularly. The whole protection thing crops up out of nowhere in, what, mid act 3? All 3 endings confirm it was something that bothered her, and considering every time he brought it up that her reaction would always be more negative than what she was displaying 5 seconds before (and he would even say in his thoughts that he felt like they were further apart again, every single time) makes him an idiot.
If he wanted to be closer to her, he should've tried to find more situations to do so, or asked her more about herself (not necessarily about her past). He knows how timid she is, and that he's the one who will have to make the first move, but he never tried to move things in any direction. Except for the good end, where he "opts out" by focusing on studying. Him being removed is what spooks her into coming to him, afraid she'll lose him if she doesn't.
>>2612742I heard the alpha route still wasn't a...highly desirable outcome?
>>2612913>The point got across fine in the ending, but seeing them interact as a proper couple for a small bit would have helped.Right, that's what everyone wants, full catharsis after the climax.
