Based on the early teasers it feels like they designed a certain amount of characters and then didn't have enough days in the calendar to give them all spotlight, and the one with the short end of the stick happened to end up Haru.

And they even cut Hifumi from being a member of the troupe into becoming a confidant.

I actually thought maybe Akechi would be a red herring and Haru was a traitor because the way what happens to her family rolls off her and doesn't effect her relationship with the others seemed unnatural. Instead she's at peace with it because she knew it was a possibility when they did the change of heart, but it felt like a plot thread that could've used more examination when it's a character's dad dying during the game partly due to their actions

Wasn't the original idea is that the traitor is randomized, and everyone has their own reason to betray the team? But they ended up fixed it on a single character.
