Hinami supports Tomozaki by setting challenging goals for him in his efforts with Mimimi and Fuuka. She values his strategy of weighing means and ends in real life just as he would in a game.

In the following interactions, the discomfort between Tomozaki and Mimimi after her confession becomes evident, suggesting that Tomozaki must address Mimimi's feelings directly.
