Man, I feel sorry for Takeda. Say what you want about his motivations, so far he seems to be the only one with functional morals and he doesn't deserve to be jerked around like that.
I'm not so sure anymore. Yuma's confused, not bad morally...blaming her is like blaming a child for drawing on the wall before they understand exactly what they're doing (just on a much more complex and mature level). Hotaru is at her wits' end, and I'm pretty sure she's getting desperate to show exactly what she feels, but is getting cold feet over just straight up telling her "I love you". And the fact Yuma hasn't picked up on this after all they've done is testament to how dense Yuma is, probably largely in part to her obvious feelings stirring up her brain and making things harder on herself.
Takeda at best at this point just doesn't understand the difference between lust and love. He may have functional morals but he does not seem to have his head screwed on straight. He deserves to not be left in the dark, certainly, but I can confidently say he has kinda gone straight into the "so when we havin' the secks" attitude. He did have that moment where he apologized and said he didn't want to take it too fast which I give him props for...only to, not long after, go back into that mindset.
And as I iterated earlier, Fujiwara is just a straight, grade S, bonafide, raw, organic, FDA-approved cuntmuffin.
Honestly if I feel for anyone, its Hotaru. Poor girl is drowning in her sorrow, desperation, and angst, probably has cried herself to sleep on multiple nights. It doesn't properly excuse her actions, but she's not doing it out of malice. She's gonna be the most screwed and hurt at the end of it all, if anyone.
