Luka and Kaito did the most damage in this one. It was natural to be selfish in the ways of love but when you love two people so much you can't choose over them so you keep it in yourself even if it hurts but just to keep them both, that's real noble. And that's what Miku had in mind, but she didn't really register how it would be like for Luka. The best intentions but didn't have that much of a proper way of executing. Miku made the promise with Luka to cope that hurt she was nursing, but she couldn't have known it wasn't enough for Luka.
The promise was for them not to make a move and hurt each other but the rules didnt extend to Kaito. In the end, Kaito had the final say and I know theyd understand and be fine with it if it was Kaito who was the bearer of news. If ONLY the girl who got picked, giddy from all the romantic love of her best friend's crush now her lover, didn't hid it away from the best friend leaving said best friend still wanting and hurting for so long and none the wiser until it bubbled and exploded, huh? NOPE!
Really, it was all fine for Luka and Kaito to end up together. But the least Luka could do was to tell Miku immediately at the start that Kaito chose her because she was just who Kaito fell in love with, not the girl he prefered and now the promise was null and void. That way, Miku would be let down gently. Love was uncontrollable, and Miku would understand that. But Luka was cowardly and thought Miku would really hate her. Though, hiding it for a long time was what really spurred on Miku's grief and hatred.
Kaito was just icing on the cake of Miku's suffering. Why didn't he ever criticize Luka on why they needed to hide their relationship from Miku? Didn't he know hiding their relationship from Miku was just isolating her further from their friendship than just outright telling it to her earlier? And why did he further enable Miku's love for him by sleeping with her just to placate her the shittiest way possible instead of stopping it now once and for all? He was a shitty guy for that and just made it all worse. What was he thinking, seriously?
The two weren't great friends. They babied Miku's emotions too much, thought her feelings had little weight and she would just throw a tantrum, be annoying and petty over it. They thought Miku wouldnt have to capacity to forgive them. And they were right, if they weren't also very wrong to begin with. And so, during the height of Miku's grief, they only stood by and watched even though they instantly knew Miku was already hurting, that she was becoming insane from all the hurt shes feeling and needed help. Now its come to bite them back in the ass. But in the end they cut ties with her and Miku is left to think it was all her fault. It was so unfair for Miku.
She's thought all her life she was only immature and selfish and spoiled but I think she saw herself wrong and only made assumptions from people telling her what she was like. What Miku felt wasn't immature and was very solid and had depth. Giving up your love for those who were less fortunate in life wasn't selfish, and she did it for Luka and Kaito. Miku was actually kind and the two overlooked that quality of hers and made a nasty (but temporary) enemy of her by making light of that kindness.
