That's why when you say I love you to a girl who answers "Thank you", you should take the time to think about what's going on really.
At least it wasn't a sole outright "I'm flattered."
But seriously. That should make you think twice.
Sacchan dialogue with Remi implies that she does love Ruki the problem is that she has a sense of self worth terrible and isn't used to stand on her own. Remi's caught on this and is taking advantage of her.
Frankly, this is feeling like a classic case of NTR where Ruki is trying to be comprehensive while some shady character is messing with Sacchan. And is even worse because Remi's supposed to be the friend of both of them, friends do not pull that shit.
(Real quick: I think I have the gist of what NTR means, but can someone actually spell the acronym out for me? Thanks)
Ruki is too busy to spend time with Sacchi
Sacchi is having troubles with her self
Ruki notices Sacchi is different, afraid to impose
Remi "comforts" Sacchi, ntr's Ruki
Goes on for a little while
Ruki finds out, relationship crumbles
Hopefully they can repair it, but these yuri authors do love their drama turned up to 11 sometimes.
It's only a matter of time before Sacchan does something with Remi and Sacchan blushes around Remi all the time. I'm surprised they haven't had sex already
To everyone who literally just pointed out what is about to happen (I haven't read the raws or anything, but I've read enough and watched enough to know where this is going...):
Aghhhh. It irks me to no end how cliche the route is going. But in a way, it's kinda accurate. I'm just sad that Ruki is so afraid of turning into Sacchi's ex that she's actually jeopardizing the relationship by not giving Sacchi what she apparently needs.
Things are so unclear with Ruki and Sacchi. I thought they were dating??? They had sex?? Ruki confessed?? But last page has Ruki going all "who am I to Sacchi that she has to tell me stuff", so I'm thoroughly confused. And pretty irked.
