s02e04 — And Then, Yuigahama Yui Makes a Declaration

He put them right in their place. They're stupid, but they think they're acting cool.

By the third episode, I finally realized that Yukinoshita and Yuigahama were unhappy that Hikki didn't put himself in anything, believed that he could sacrifice himself and, since he wasn't friends with anyone, get the least damage compared to others, because he was at the bottom of the social hierarchy at school. In general, Hickey "until you love yourself, no one will love you." They all need to finally convey to him that he is dear to them as a friend, otherwise he still does not understand this. But Hayamo-kun is hot in this episode, scolded these two fools so much that they ran away with their tails between their legs, not even trying to explain themselves.

I'm just so glad Hayama said what he said. So far, he has almost directly told Hikigaya that it's time to start putting himself in something.
