if she really didn't had her back she wouldn't even stepped in between her friend and the bullies, leaving her be; children or not a person should understand that much
Sorry to say but it's unpopular because it doesn't make sense to held a grudge for so many years for a thing like that. More so because her friend didn't want to be a bootlicker, just wanted to ease things letting the club grow while continuing to play with her friend without drama. In her head...
"Of one individual" it was her mother, not a random person
Also "radicalized" A) is too big of a word for the situation, and B) if you want to use it then you could also say that she's radicalized in being a noble despite everything. So what gives?
To be fair if I heard that "being nobility killed my mother" I would've turned my back against them, no pride in that sh*tshow. Maybe Rae thought that learning that truth was going to change her
This subplot is so convoluted for absolutely no reason, also reporter girl is really detestable: why she doesn't doubt that the letter could be a fake, or that the content is greatly exagerated? For someone playing detective she isn't so smart
A little too much, imho. I can understand being protective of a friend but no one even thought something like "better ask him", one friend even straight out went with the dump him.
That's not someone happy that you are in a relationship, that's someone jealous that your time with them decreased
"It's Mahoro's fault it happened. She kept flaunting how happy her life was."
She is so depressed by her own private life, and so stupid, that she doesn't understanda that Mahoro was doing the same that she was doing: lying to the group for the sake of appareances
Leave it to manga teachers to be always the worst possible adult around
Also, maybe it's just coincidence, but her current aspect is her real life face + the hair color of the girl who she couldn't help...a subtle way to always remind her and "haunt" her?
