Ladies versus Butlers

[shinta|hikari]

To clarify, the issue between the two of us is whether or not Tomomi has a distinct advantage, which I found to be baseless given the four things you mentioned. I certainly believe if she has an advantage it is because of past history and childhood first crush status.

But this was the first thing I mentioned.

Akiharu is more comfortable around her, and does confide in her from time to time. That does not mean he trusts her, nor is the first thought when he thinks of her is that she is a girl, he thinks of her as the dreaded Tomomi, terror of his childhood.

But I never said that the first thought when Akiharu thinks of her is that she is a girl. I said that he still considers her a girl, despite also being a terror. Rather than this being an advantage, I noted it as a condition that allows Tomomi to be a candidate. If Akiharu did not even consider her a girl, then she would be out from the get go.

But I don't believe she has a distinct advantage... I think they are all about equal distance from each other, though Akiharu probably is the furthest along in determining his own feelings, for whomever they may be.

I didn't say distinct advantage either. I just said Tomomi still has an advantage, one that she retained from before when Akiharu still didn't know much about Selnia. I also think it is a very close race, like you said.
