-It's hard to believe Ojou because of her personality. When she suddenly starts reminiscing about the past, you can't help but go "A lie?"
-The girl drowning was... forced. In the first place, where are the damn lifeguards? Unless Japan doesn't have lifeguards or anyone looking out in the pools.
And despite being able to handle Ojou's touching without fainting while they played, he suddenly gets dizzy when she touched this girl? At least develop him as a lolicon first.
And while I do understand his defense because he was the victim of DV, but I'm pretty surprised he was able to knock out a trained butler in one hit in the stomach like that.
-Predictability... Well, I'm not expecting more.

Though I guess it did develop the characters...? Sure.
Subaru got deredere way too fast though. Wonder if the guy doped her with a love potion off-screen.

I don't see how anyone would think she's telling a lie. She looked serious, and spoke in a serious tone, not to mention the music(I think).

I didn't pay much attention to it, but I guess a random girl drowning in the middle of a pool with absolutely no one IN the pool is quite far-fetched. I was guessing it was for the plot device to show Konoe seeing Jirou ignoring his phobia to help someone in need, but yeah, it was kind of ridiculous.

Hasn't it been stated that his phobia isn't as effective if he's used to being around someone for a while?

Konoe was very disoriented after seeing the knife(on a phone screen ). Shouldn't have been too hard to do anything to her in that state, less, knock her out.

I don't believe she got deredere too fast. In a sense, I agree with the split personality idea. She has two personae, as a butler, and as herself. I think her 'dere side is her normal self, but generally, because of her circumstance, she acts as the butler self.
