I've rewatched those scenes in the episode again. Sorry but she,
- Goes to the beach starts a friendly conversation and concludes it with Isurugi Noe talk.
- Avoids Noe for god knows whatever reason.
- Starts a conversation about the stupid room. (it's his damn house!)
- Somehow "forgets" she told Sinchiro she loves #4 and she also went as far as to ask for is help no less.
Shinchiro has Itsurugi Noe on his hands, not to mention has to deal with her brother. He has family problems and the family tradition to attend to. In his current situation mind reading Hiromi would be the last thing on his mind.
Lets face it did she send him any signals? It's like she mumbles half the sentences right one minute, then mumbles something completely random the next.
I couldn't put my finger on it earlier but I have a pretty good idea after watching it again. She's either the
waiting type or the
hard to get type. She's either waiting to get Shinchiro by default or waiting for him to ignore the lies and leap all over her in some sort of fiery tail fantasy. I'm sure some people take a liking to this kind of love, and I agree it's a form of mutual love, but it's a dirty good thing as far as I see. If she doesn't respect Shinchiro to tell him the truth and to rely on feelings of affection instead of feelings of jealousy from him, she doesn't deserve him...
I know it sounds too close to the accusations of Shinchiro's mom, but maybe that's part of the plot with her character.
