Tcof: *raises an eyebrow* Perhaps I've lost sight of your original point, but those pictures only serve to confirm my original statement: Given that Mako has come to understand how Shinichi thinks and feels, why would she automatically assume the worst over something that has had no actual occurrence in their relationship thusfar? It seems that you are defending her reaction with the idea akin to 'girls make dumb logical decisions in irl too', but this is a lazy, lazy position for the author to have her character take; the only purpose is to insert baseless conflict and drag progress. I believe the author may have fallen into a trap: couldn't think of a reasonable way for these two personality types to come into this kind of conflict, so an artificial premise (What if Shinichi only wants me for sex?!) is inserted to inflate it. I haven't read beyond this chapter to think otherwise, so if you are drawing upon later information, please let me know.
