well, if u're implying about aki, she was just in the novel once, and haruka treat her the same as the other members. if aki can become a potential love interest to haruka, so do the guys, in the novel makoto shows affection to haru and so does rin, so basically all of them can be a potential love interest for haru. it's not just aki, and i can even said that there're more possibilities for makoto and haruka in the novel. because they basically show more attentions toward each other than aki. Especially that scene with makoto line "i have to see him, i have to see haruka" so stop saying as if it's just aki who can be a potential love interest, when the guys show more attention to haru. And i doubt if aki will even appear in free!, or will ever appear 'again'. Because she was just 'there' to serve the story.
