* LoveHurts: This is Oshima and Kanon's situation in a nutshell.
** Kanon realizes that it was her own insecurity that made her feel like Kojima was going to dump her, when in fact he had liked her all along and never intended to dump her. At the same time, Kojima confesses to Marin that he had liked Kanon from the start, but felt she was purposely separating herself from him, and so they grew distant. Kanon realizes that she never told ''anyone'' she liked them out loud even once.
** Oshima initially seems to be your classic AlphaBitch, but she has ''heartbreaking'' hidden depths. She tells Kanon that even when she was going out with Kojima, all he ever talked about was Kanon. She feels she'll never measure up to Kanon in his eyes, and that it ''hurts'' to like someone that much knowing they'll never feel the same way about you.


Added DiffLines:

* PoorCommunicationKills: Kanon never told Kojima she liked him out of fear and naturally assumed he was going to dump her, which made him grow distant from her because he felt she didn't reciprocate his feelings.
