Haruka has a fierce side even Nihama didn’t know about, considering how she spoke about the situation, it’s possible she didn’t even know she could do that. I wonder if this experience will foster even more growth from her, to the point where she doesn’t take shit from anyone in the future. I mean in the bad future she committed suicide because of all the bullying and her inability to understand why people would act that way towards her.
But having experienced it like this, with someone being so unreasonable and targeting their anger at Nihama of all people. It’s clear it took more than someone being mean to her for some action to be taken. She needed to feel the urge to protect someone important to her, and now she understands at least on some level what that feeling is, and how to respond to it. Though granted her response might be a tad bit over the top if it’s just standing up for herself, but it’s obvious that was the only thing that would work, and it’s been building up inside her for who knows how long.
I liked her before, but this new side of her makes me like her a whole lot more. She can be kind and sweet one moment, but if the need arises she will become cold and commanding.
It’s unrelated, but it kind of reminds me of Hahari Hanazono from 100 Girlfriends specifically her introduction, except it’s nowhere as extreme, in that case it might just be genetic given Hakari exhibits the same behavior sometimes.
