I’m not sure, though. Considering his actions in Tomoyo’s route, I’m inclined to say that Tomoya is generally a more long-term thinker who’s empathetic of the people around him. I’m basically repeating myself here, but I think he would realize that appeasing both girls in the way he does is, in reality, a cruel and manipulative thing to do. Ultimately, I’ll have to agree to disagree, because I just feel Tomoya wouldn’t treat something like romance so flippantly. I think it’s him buying into Kyou’s wishful thinking in a way I don’t think he would. I mean, he’s rather assertive with Kyou when she meddles in other’s business in Kappei’s route, so why would he kind of let her win here?
