I already didn't like him, but man after this episode I really hate Hayato. He's just the worst, he uses and uses Hikigaya and then has the gall to judge him all while benefiting as Hikigaya slowly destroys himself.
How wrong am I?
I don't think he was happy with the situation or his role in it. I think his anger at Hikki is at how much Hikki lets himself be hurt, because Hayato recognizes that Hikki is trying to help others and he thinks Hikki deserves to not be hurt so much. He just couldn't see any other way out aside from letting things blow up, and was probably mad at himself as well.

If anything, I think one of the show's more interesting aspects is how he's shown as a decent but human guy who tries to do right by those around him.

And yeah, I totally agree with your last statement.
Just to be clear, I was referring to Hayato there.

Though yeah, he does seem to be crushing hard on Saika, so maybe Yui was doomed from the start.
OTOH he also crushes a bit on the teacher.

I'm glad the last couple of episodes seem to be focusing on Hayato because I'm still not sure what his deal is.
I'd say he feels drawn by some combination of temperament and socialization to be a peacemaker and people pleaser, but recognizes the limitations of his methods and gets a bit frustrated because alternate solutions like Hikki's are against his nature.
