I kid, I kid. I assume you're talking more about why this apparently needed to involve creating this massively complex scenario in the first place, and if that's your problem, I mean, fair enough. I can't do much more than tell you not to worry about it. But I mean, you're the one who says the character motivations and interactions are what counts in this show, so maybe try and focus on that with Kanzaki too? Although I want to stress I can't blame you if that's hard on this one! You do have a well-documented disinterest in about 96% of things involving Yui!

Yeah, it's... Ren betting all of his humanity on a wish from a mirror ghost, sure. I get it. Ren relating to Shiro's need to bet all of his humanity on trying to save Yui, yep, pretty well established. (Also something I like!) Ren divining the machinations of how Ren getting a wish from a mirror ghost will also save Yui? Feels like it's a leap to me. Little bit of a leap.

And this all isn't me writing the show off or anything. There's a gooey 40-something episodes in the center of this show that all about exploring characters, and I really enjoyed it. Diving into the mechanics of Mirror World and Shiro's plans, though... not exactly a strength of this show.
