I'm going to assume it's safe to know that Hayate has fallen for Ruka during the amount of time taking care of her. With his expressions in 431, it's pretty safe to assume that. I felt a bit heartbroken that Ruka is now gone, and leaving Hina and Athena being the only other decent heroines. I do feel this is not the last we've seen of Ruka yet but with what i can tell, I think it could also be the last... I am also now starting to think that Hata-sensei is now going to do the same with each heroine- make them get out of the harem one way or another. I now don't really have that much hope for this, since the Nagi ending is pretty much confirmed, but i'll stay with this until the best are gone.
