I've read many stupid and dense characters but Satoru is just... I just can't even... *cries* ... How can a person be that stupid even though the situation he was in didn't really require genius level intellect to understand and the other characters (especially Shinichi) always expressed their feelings directly and not in riddles? Even when he finally understood Shinichi's feelings why didn't Satoru just flat-out reject Shinichi?? Why drag it to the point that some new misunderstandings were born so late into the game? And Shinichi himself acted just like a bitch who could never understand that by being stubborn he was destroying the happiness of two people in love with each other (people like him are sometimes the reason why some true love and marriages suddenly don't work out). Another thing, Satoru's been in love with Shiro for three whole years and having confessed two times and been rejected twice, why couldn't he just ask Shiro directly about why Shiro thought his confession was a joke?? He was brave and thick-skinned enough to confess twice and all the while act like a stalker, why couldn't he just ask that seemingly very important question? Then, they would have learnt earlier that Satoru never actually received Shiro's letter (though why Shiro thought to send his letter through the postal service is another thing that completely eludes me; they were neighbors, he could have just dropped it himself in Satoru's mailbox, surely he could have had the time to do that, right? RIGHT!?). Ugh~ I honestly feel disgusted by how such an otherwise interesting story could be this frustrating because of the characters' utter stupidity, messed-up sense of priority, and just plain bitchiness.
