I dislike ship teasing for this very reason. It's...frustrating. I don't usually get involved in such things, but the scene where she and Kouichi say goodbye during break (not realizing they'll be meeting at the beach the next day), I was all but ready to shout at him to tell her he hoped she'd be okay or something. But he didn't, because he's not very good at expressing emotions.

I don't ship he and Aya at all, but there's another scene which I felt much the same about. When he saves her from the window, she's visibly terrified, but he doesn't even so much as tell her it's okay. He just sits there.

He's kind of a frustrating character to root for.
