My area wrote: I agree to S3rO-Ph1i that Shinoa loving someone doesn't necessary make her go in a same way as Mahiru did as circumstances surrounding Mahiru and Guren and circumstances around Yu and Shinoa is considerably different

Even despite Shinoa having feelings for Yu she is still a pretty strong female charactar with her own unique charm not being lost

The reason Shinoa will end up different is because since she was a child she was neglected and ignored and was overshadowed by Mahiru,Didn't get loved by everyone so she didn't love anyone in return making her more cold and closed up from inside and has a stronger control of emotions than any of Hiragi family as noted by Shikama plus the problems are different where in Mahiru time it was problem between Hiragi and Ichinose family while with Shinoa its with collapse of the world and war between vampires and hyakuya sect so she would most likely wouldn't end up like how Mahiru did

The reason she is agreeing to Guren now is as Guren has been sticking with them for a long time and has supported them uptill now even when he is deemed suspicious and there are in a crisis where even enemies like Ferid and Crowley are in truce with Guren and Kureto so she really dont have a choice here and have to side with Guren to deal with threats like Shikama doji and Rigr Starford but granted Guren still isn't fully trustable as his motive remains unclear when Mahiru tells Guren to betray True, true, it's exactly the same for Yu we don't say he will be diminished or change for the worse if he ends up with someone. Yu can do whatever he likes in terms of relationship choices and be all the better for it, same with Shinoa.
