No, the scale was imbalanced since episode one. Look how much chemistry
Takayuki and Mitsuki had. Look how much screen time they got. Why did Takayuki
stop to chat with her in episode two at the expense of his appointed date?
Twice!

He cares for them both.

Yes, he did use Mitsuki as an emotional cushion initially, but he grew to love
her. Yes, he loved Haruka and still does care about her A LOT, and yes, he's
wavering right now. But that's not the point. The point is the have given so
much focus on Takayuki and Mitsuki's relationship that it dwarfs his
relationship with Haruka.

So, you're saying that talking heart to heart, walking while holding hands, 
eating dinner
 together, hugging, playing "love games" [the cups] is not a display of
affection?

My God, I've been in a false relationship all this time!!! ;p

Oh please. Takayuki isn't even married to Haruka. They went out for what? 3
months. In their mind Haruka would never wake up. You're making it seem as if
Mitsuki is a really bad person. If she was she wouldn't try being his friend
for A YEAR. She would jump into bed with him a mere week after Haruka's
accident.

But yes, that's causing her self imposed guilt, which is why Haruka's awakening
is a chance for her and Takayuki to mend the weakest joint in their
relationship. Albeit in a very emotionally draining way.

Haruka's battle will be decided AND fought for her by others. She will remain
ignorant most of the time.

Of course their relationship is a downspiral. The plot is engineered to flow
that way. These later upcoming episodes will be very emotionally painful for
Mitsuki, but not so much for Haruka. Mark my words.
