Ngl if he does affect the MC eventually it would probably towards the end of the manga rather than in the middle, I don't think the author would get them together though maybe MC would just become more 'aware' of his change of feelings towards Hatano or something? As for the mind reader it'd be nice if he and the MC becomes friends bc MC is hyper aware of the world, meanwhile he's aware of other's thoughts meaning he'll be able to understand MC's actions in one way or another idk I just think it'd be interesting
I get why people are against MC getting with Hatano but hating Hatano's presence is kindaaaa ehhh I mean he makes the manga more interesting for me (not that it's not,.he just adds more flavor to it), it's going to get repetitive eventually if we constantly just see MCs brother fluttering about with his love interests and seeing MC pass by random people every chapter. I get excited whenever I see him and the mind reader's presence, it gives me a sense of consistency and something to look forward to. Them being interested in MC, be it in a romantic sense or not, doesn't necessarily equal to romance. MC is actively trying to avoid and subvert them. Just like irl, just bc someone likes you doesn't mean you like them too or will instantly get into a relationship with them. Plus I think it's interesting that the MC is getting recognized for once.
