Finally something interesting. I'm surprised Ruka said it straight out that she loves Hayate, though I'm still rooting for A-tan. A-tan is the only character that's appealed to me.
A-tan and Hayate can't open up the pathway to the royal garden anymore so I'm guessing their targeting Ruka next and that only unfortunate people can open the pathway. Hayate was poor and had horrid parents, A-tan had no parents and lived on her own and Ruka is similair to Hayate.
Kinda curious on what Yozora and her boss is trying to achieve though. There's nothing in the royal garden apart from that mirror and the coffin.
