Kud was one of the first routes I finished and really no one surpassed her after that point. I don't think my mind was really changed after going through various routes and past Refrain. Thanks for explaining that man! I was really confused and couldn't recall hearing what exactly happened to her. There is also a possibility of her having somekind of asperger syndrom like me making her to see the relations in a diferent way. Even if she is no more terrified by then she is now so awfull in relations because of her lack of practice, or maybe because her only references are her group of friends and they are mostly 'extrange' in her way of interacting. When she grows up still has those problems and, aside of the group of friends where Kyousuke introduce her in, she probably doesn't understand how relationships works because she doesn't create any by herself.

It is not explained extensively but in Refrain or Rin route in some point is explained about some incident where she was involved and was scolded for her behavior by adults making her to be scared of people she still doesn't know very well. Has been lots of years since I readed it but if I well remember. In fact the Little Busters group was formed at first time to help her with those problems.ДЄbout Rin. She doesn't act like she has intelectual problems in any other part of her life, all is related to social interactions problems and behavior in society problems caused by the incident she has involved in during her chilhood. She remember me a lot to myself and another people I know in my asociation with problems in the social relationships. (also she is the best heroine to me, alongside with Kotori from Rewrite).ДЄbout Rin, she is not retarded I think. Is in fact in long term where she should be able to overcome the imposed role and become better The point with Haruka is precissely that the role of the useless was imposed in her since her chilhood and she asimilated it and make it reality.

It's been a while since I read Little Busters so I may be missing something but. Dating her would be taking advantage of her and highly frustrating, besides. Super stunted from undescribed sexual abuse, mentally on the level of a kindergardner at times. She's like every attention grabbing daddy issue girl I've ever been with - easy lay, builds your self esteem, but unstable and has no substance or long term potential. Haruka is so sadly useless that everyone constantly mentions it.
