screen time does not equal better relationship between Mitsuki and Narumi.
And so what if the screen time was imbalanced?  It doesn't prove anything in
terms of predictability.  It's pretty clear where the relationship was
before the accident and they had to show that Mitsuki had feelings for him
to create conflict later on.  The conflict here is Mitsuki taking Narumi
while he's vulnerable and trying to keep him for herself later on.

again, it's hard to develop any relationship with Haruka when she was asleep
for 2.5 episodes out of 5 after the accident.  In episode 7, they're now
showing a growing relationship with Haruka.  It may be for Mitsuki
relationship, it may be for Haruka relationship.  Who knows.

hugging and holding hands, yes.  talking heart to heart and eating dinner
together can be done between friends.  The cups thing is not really a love
game.  They're just playing around like any two close people would.

well, not really a false relationship, but a one based on bad foundation
that's gone on far enough.

well... duh....  On this issue, I share a lot of animosity with Akane.

alright, so I'm guessing that when she recovers, she's just gonna say "OK!",
lie down, take it, and move on easily?  I highly doubt that.  It's gonna be
really painful to find out that she's been missing out on the past 3 years
and even more painful to find out about Mitsuki and Narumi.  I think Haruka
will put her foot down at least once before any concessions.
