It's not good enough.
She's doomed.

Even more vibes from Ai Kamiya (from Shikimori is not just a cutie) being a girl admired by everyone, with a lot of theoretical friends... but without real friends, without people in who she can trust on, because her own communication problems.
These communication problems are other inheritance from Kazusa Touma (White Album 2), of the same author.
Only Izumi and Nekozaki, I mean, Haruki and Setsuna, I mean, Yuu and Hikari, were able to break her mask and see the real Ayami under the cool girl facade. Only them reached to connect really with her and break her walls.
And yes, this imply Yuu always was her fated couple, like Izumi was for Kamiya AND Shikimori. They always were predestined to be the first love of the other one, the abussive step-father of Ayami only fastered the process.

i know some ppl younger/high school age can technically work tho i'd think it'd be tougher/ppl looking down at them for being 'drop outs' cute design tho. my bangs aren't super long but i feel like pinning them back with a hair tie versus pins/barrettes would just look awkward

nice of her to let her stay but at this point i'd be more worried about getting a job myself if i were her, you know, to pay for my dying? mom's hospital bills or something (i mean children probably aren't obligated to pay for their parents hospital bills but romance would be the last thing on my mind

if anything, it'd make more sense if she was straight up like "i hate my mom, if she's in the hospital, it's not my problem anymore/i'm glad she's not around or so" but it does kinda feel like she forgot about her at this point)

Not sure if you're getting the timeline jumbled, but

• Aya stayed with this friend for a month in middle school
• this meeting takes place sometime in Aya's repeated first year when Aya is again living at home with her parents, likely near the beginning of her relationship with Yuu given where the chapter is placed
  * Aya's mom attempts suicide and is hospitalized right around the time Aya and Yuu go to the beach and Aya ghosts.
