Rio and Haruto? Yes and No. Haruto doesn't see himself as Haruto anymore because of his desire for vengeance and his willingness to kill. And also, because he already killed someone before. Because of the "common" western culture, most of us can't see any big problem with that, but you should remember this story is being written by a japanese person, from a japanese point of view, strongly influenced by the japanese culture. In that culture, killing a person isn't something "openly" accepted by society, even if in self defense or to defend another's life. That's why Rio/Haruto struggles to see himself as himself and to accept Miharu's feelings. He deems himself unworthy of her, even still loving her more than anything else.
