On episodes 3 and 4 (will try to avoid directly reciting spoilers): A shoujo where things actually happen!
Mei, although willing to have Yamato accompany her, still has trust issues rooted in the psychological damage she received when younger. She didn't believe that Yamato could truly pick her out of the large amount of girls that he could choose to be with, and outright stated that she didn't understand his character enough. Hearing something unfavorable about Yamato when being pulled aside only made this worse, as she became depressed and went off on her own. Yamato chose to reveal more about himself, and how he admires Mei for not being afraid to voice her discontent, while he is typically acts inoffensive to avoid conflict, which resulted in personal problem arising. Having lived in her own bubble for a long time, this sparks Mei to attempt to move on from her psychological damage and attempt to be more sociable. After a small timeskip, people have taken notice of Mei's attempt to be more sociable, and there's quite a bit of gossip regarding Yamato and Mei. A supposed friend of Yamato's asks that Yamato take Mei out so that he can meet her. He is pure scum, which Mei obviously detects since she is observant, and refuses to associate with him. Mei's problems with trust arise again as she was not pleased about how Yamato could possibly introduce her to such a terrible person, and stays clear of him for a while. Yamato picks up on what the guy did and defends Mei in her absense. Mei later defends somebody else and grills the jerk that Yamato introduced her to. Mei, having been taken advantage of and not having people help her in times of need, is touched after seeing evidence about Yamato's defense of her (which was not even spurred on by request), and perhaps this is the beginning of something more intimate.
