The situation between Hachiman and Yui is handled the exact same way - Yui was warned to not confess. Why did it turn into a turmoil?
Currently the only explanation I thought of is that Yui's feelings for Hachiman is way stronger compared to Tobe's feelings to Ebina. Thoughts?
Ebina has something to protect: her friendship with the clique. Also, Ebina and Tobe come to understand each other better after Hachiman's stunt.

This doesn't hold true for Hachiman himself. What exactly is Hachiman trying to protect? His pride in being a loner? It also makes it even more difficult to understand him. What does he really want?
