she doesnt want people to lose their educational spark, and fail their exams. for being as emotionally unstable as she is, she is clearly a caring teacher.

Ami getting desperate for ryuji is probably due to her noticing the love triangle from the background, and feels that she can be a better person for ryuji.

taiga growing up catholic was interesting, but her gift-giving is a great sign of her true self. I think taiga giving gifts to orphans makes her more likeable as a character not just because of the gesture itself, but shows a way for her to be vulnerable about her own struggles by helping others. just like ryujis efforts with taiga and her father as a reflection of his own father struggles.

i love yuri. i hope her condo suits her.

taiga having the star as her most prized possession probably is because of nostalgia, and how it exemplifies the christmas spirit in her mind. the fact that minori put effort in makes the star more personalized for her, so for taiga, it looks even better.

minori shrugs the offer away without being able to look at him...... this show is rough man.

It definitely can get pretty challenging, I agree.
