Because he was dead tired having just finished an exhaustive round of tests/training. You'll note that he smiled, though...

Endless?
But as magnuskn was nice enough to point out, there were only two... You make it sound like she's harassing him. He certainly doesn't sound like he's being harassed...

Sheryl didn't tell her. She found out when the movie PA in ep 10 spilled the beans... Sheryl, as far as I can recall, never asked, either. As far as I can tell, she only knew because she met the senior Saotome while judging the Miss Macross contest. Besides, it's clearly not something he was keen on sharing.

Pssst, he calls Sheryl foolish or reckless on many occasions, too. It's just his way. Does his mean he feels maternal (paternal?) toward Sheryl, too?

Hmm, what are your conditions for growing?
The Ranka we meet at the beginning of the series is shy, lacks self-confidence, doesn't seem to have much direction, and has been sheltered her whole life.
The Ranka we see at the end is confident, outgoing, and unafraid to risk life and limb for what she wants and what she believes in... kinda like a certain other pop star...
Nope, no growth....
