whoa, Kaede with the curveball. Since he's a softie at heart, I think he's gonna hide his true feelings at the end of the day. He's prolly going to try to 'get along' with Maiko to make Keisuke jealous and/or to give Maiko more confidence. Standard teenage drama stuff.
Anyway, I want this arc to end so I can get back to watching the older siblings' development
