Well, it's probably important to note that, Airi's developing feelings notwithstanding, Shingo's feelings here are more hidden. We see him explain his behaviour at the end of Episode 4: he said that he did all he did for his own sake, because he didn't like the bad atmosphere. In a sense, with the scene that happened at the end of episode 4 (deliberately at the same park as episode 1), you could sort of say that Shingo and Airi are back to square one (perhaps just a little bit closer). While I definitely agree that this is not an omnibus anime, you could also say that Airi's "arc" is done now. It really all depends on what the anime writers decide to do from now on. With some of the hints they've been leaving, I personally don't think they'll do 100% Airi all the way to the end, at least... (but whether he ends up with Airi... I guess I'd have to make a bet...)
