But pursuing Ryotaro's course of action is a gigantic waste of time? He needs to confront his feelings of inadequacy, not treat them as valid. The longer Kohana lets this go on, the further Ryotaro gets from feeling better. It's not tough love to stop enabling someone?

Yuuto was vaguely content with his obliterated future, and then Sakurai showed up and told him to Get In The Robot! It's a dick move! Deneb treats it like a death sentence! The entire climax of the episode is that Yuuto has doomed himself by accepting those cards! Sakurai is an asshole!!
