"My legs cramp up" might just be the best excuse to avoid talking to someone that I've heard in a long time.
It might be difficult, but once you've opened up to one another, things go a lot more smoothly than before. However, Shizuku and Haru are oddly alike in that they hate confrontation, and so they tend to lose their nerve when things get too involved. That means that though they may not be mad at one another, there's still plenty of room for misunderstandings, which is how Yamaken always manages to put himself back into the equation over and over again. I think it's pretty telling that Yamaken tells Shizuku how her relationship with Haru is a circular one, and he's right on target with his analysis. Since the beginning, the two of them have been dancing an awkward, spiraling dance together, one that takes a lot of work to get it back on the right track. Haru might be ready to invest himself in Shizuku's problems, and Shizuku might be noticing that she needs to try to invest herself in his, but it's not as if this will magically smooth out all the problems in their relationship at once. For one thing, Shizuku still hasn't realized that hanging out with Yamaken puts Haru at odds, and though she doesn't have to give up her friendship (in fact, she shouldn't), she should be ready to talk it out with Haru rather than deciding things on her own. Now that Yamaken's decided to act again, however, perhaps she'll be able to see her situation through fresh eyes.
