Now that you mention yeah
plot 1 we have some dumb girl that wants to monkey branch to better looking guys, but keeps her BF when she gets dumped
plot 2 we have some girl starting drama in the workplace and not respecting boundaries
Plot 3 dude is blackmailing a girl into prostitution or else he...
Author pulled a bunch of plots and now have to navigate it all at the same time, my bet is that after this interaction we go back to MC friend and the EX plot, and only God knows when we see the Hanabi plot again.
So we're back to plot 2, we have MC Friend that went back to his EX, this girl in the workplace that we don't know wtf her deal is, and the whole Hanabi thing, this arc gonna take some time...
