I need more interactions between Sakura and Byakuya. Like, it's so important to me. Think of the parallels, man. THE PARALLELS.
Fundamentally, at the very core, they're actually so similar. They both come from a family that has a large name to uphold and both of them had to work extra hard to prove themselves worthy of being a part of this legacy, Byakuya because he's the youngest and Sakura because she's a woman. Both of them base their actions and decisions on this legacy, on what is expected of them due to this position.
They also think similarly about a lot of things. Like, I understand why it happened, but it's still so ironic that Byakuya couldn't figure out Sakura's suicide because they literally thought about it in the exact same way; as something necessary for the survival of others.
They also both know about Bushido, and there's actually a very cool analysis about it here.
I also think that it's interesting how Sakura is literally the only one that doesn't get some kind of a comment from Byakuya on these relationship charts.
And generally their dynamic is kind of really funny to me. We got to see a bit of it in Chapter 3 after Toko fainted after seeing Kiyotaka dead, and Byakuya just. Did not remind anyone that she was all alone and passed out and Sakura got mad about it because something could've happened to her. Peak ragebait. Made even better by the fact that Sakura's case was the one that made Byakuya betray his whole "don't say no one would do it just because you wouldn't do it" ideology because he just couldn't fathom someone giving up their life just like that. They're so similar at their core, yet so different in their ideologies, and it's so interesting to me.
