About time - possibly unpopular opinion

Honestly, I've been finding the uke really annoying up til now. Yajima has been pretty much nothing but nice, if not a bit pushy, and Umegaki has just projected some villain idea on the guy with, frankly, no reason. Every time Umegaki thought horrible/mean stuff about Yajime I just wanted to scream because the kid's done nothing to deserve those thoughts. "Surprisingly kind" my ass, he's been kind the whole damn time - with maybe the exception being the forced kiss.

But at least after this chapter that whole dynamic can come to an end and I might be able to like Umegaki by the end of this story.
