This so much. There is no way he is just a random in love with Ayumi. It was clear he was desperate to keep Ayumi around school for serious reasons, possibly stalling time for the orange haired girl. My initial thought was he and yandere-chan were scientist spies looking to kidnap Ayumi, but yandere-chan’s terrible plot device actions shows at least she is not. Regardless, Oikawa was definitely getting close to Ayumi for ulterior motives.
About Ayumi’s collapse power and why she might develop such a power: let us remember her love for stars and that mysterious comet of foreshadowing. Now let’s read an explanation of how comets form:
I believe Ayumi’s unhealthy love for stars is the source of her ability of collapse in that her powers attempt to replicate this galactic creation, albeit in a much weaker but still very dangerous form. Going back to my initial guess from episode 1:
I believe there are people who already knew or suspected Ayumi would gain this power of collapse, and this is why both Oikawa and new girl were so desperate to get to Ayumi because they knew she had finally developed this dangerous power. Perhaps I was wrong in that her powers ARE the main problem of the series, but it’s still too early to claim that for sure. I also suggested last week that she may have been experimented on as a child; perhaps this instillation of love for stars was the experiment in hoping that she would develop such a powerful ability.
