Actually, if we look back to the last two episodes of the first season of the anime (two episodes from which is an original for the anime and was not even seen nor did it occur in the original manga), he was able to come up and tell Haruna that he wants her to know his true feelings for her and even finally called her "Haruna-chan", which made her really happy. He also said, before he ran towards Gid's ship to get to Lala, that he "he wants to make a better person of himself". Those last two episodes were amazing in my opinion, since Rito was finally taking a great leap for, not only Lala and Haruna, but for himself and everyone.

However, thanks to Bye-Bye Memory-kun, it seems as though most of everyone forgot about that event (evidenced in the first OVA series and even the second season; where everything went back to the same way it was BEFORE Lala's illness where she had to change her personality each day, which was the one that made Rito realize his true feelings for her and so on with the next things that happened after that). (However, looking at how most of the episodes in the first season were originally made, I'm guessing that, with chance, those might happen in the original manga too soon, in Darkness, that is).

He really took a great leap in those episodes and it was really amazing in my opinion. He had guts, but I used the word "had", referring to what happened BEFORE Lala wiped their memories of it (even though it was a failure, it could may as well have erased their memories BEFORE the personality change and then gave them left of the moments during Lala and Rito's wedding, thus leading to them not remembering the events that happened DURING and AFTER the personality illness and BEFORE the wedding; considering how they noted that Bye-Bye Memory-kun was another failure, and had no recollection of the events before it).

I guess what I'm saying is that, if so, this could happen in Darkness too soon, like in the manga, where he could start something better about himself; confess his TRUE feelings for Lala and Haruna, take a decisive choice about his own feelings and what he wants to do to deal with them and at least mature a bit from his personality, because, I think it's time for a change for him ever since he allowed Nemesis to "possess" his body for her to survive.
