Is that he was READY to put that "bitch" Eri and Kondo behind him thanks to Eiji and move on with his life! Poor guy was suffering JUSTIFIED Nerd Rage since that point, I had to LAUGH when Eri's POV that the bitch after everything before thought he'd forgive her just like that! "If you had no care for your relationship with him just to IMPRESS some POS kid you just fucking MET that you'd destroy it! What made you think after so long, you'd be forgiven!" I love the part where no words were said between them after meeting again after that point of the break up. Where all he had to do was GLARE at her and she knew "to just move the fuck on without a word!" I know it just meant she 100% clung to Kondo after that! But that was her own fault, she always had the choice to come to him EVEN WITH THAT GLARE and apologize at LEAST. But she didn't, becuase even back then she was STILL refusing like with Miyuki now to accept her responsibility! It's why she and Miyuki clung to Kondo! They were too COWARDLY to do the right thing, major point "not holding him to ACCOUNT" (Case in point for Miyuki, the second he revealed that Photo despite what he said, "His being a good person" nonsense should have flown OUT THE WINDOW and shown her that things went to RUIN for Eiji and minorly though I doubt "she thinks so" HER, BECAUSE she got involved with Kondo, where if she had REMAINED true and not a traitor. Well as we know he wouldn't have stopped because of his ego and who TOLD HIM to approach her in the first place. To find out she was nothing but a Stepping Stone! If her Self-esteem wasn't low enough when she ). I was happy when it was shown that NONE of their mutuals abandoned Endou, just life got in the way of them personally telling him they were on his side! Might as well say they AREN'T Mutuals but ENDOU'S Friends since they all abandoned Eri after her stupid choice! It was HOW she did it that made her rotten, because as Ms. Aono said to Miyuki "If it didn't work out and they saw other people, that would be FINE, but instead the twat chose to cheat and hurt her son, making it look like a FUCKING JOKE her upbringing with them, their RELATIONSHIPS. meant NOTHING in the face of an OBVIOUS PLAYBOY! (I've had THREE CASES of watching people I thought I knew and would never hurt me acting the same, not a Romance problem, more in the "I thought we'd be WRITING as friends/brothers for LIFE" affairs! But it did teach me that things come and go! I've found ironically AFTER those POS "begone" people who BECAME my "Ride and Die" Brothers/Sisters/Friends" so I guess that's how life is, though not fully as not EVERYONE acts like that! It's a CHOICE, and they chose POORLY! My only POOR choice was clinging and trying not to BELIEVE they would do it, but they did, and I had to accept it!)
I think what I really love as I've been off the Novel abit is that Kondo STILL doesn't know it was him who brought RUIN to him. I hope he did find out! To find out that Nerdy kid he always thought about then if he thought about at ALL after passing Step 2 of getting Eri to ruin her life was the one who brought him down! I'm sure that would be the FINAL KO to his ego, since it was "getting away with that" which made him think he was invincible in the first place! Part of me wanted to imagine Endou REVEALING himself to Kondo later when he's at Juvie as the mastermind, even EXPECTING a "who are you again" since he knows Kondo forgot about him after he got Eri to TANK their friendship! Being reminded will obviously cause Kondo to realize QUICKLY and make him lose his shit which I would love to see! But another part of me wants Eri and Endou to at LEAST make peace with each other and move on! Not for Eri, the only thumbs up I give for her was NOT taking the easy way out AGAIN AKA when she was contemplating suicide and chose to avenge on Kondo instead! But more for Endou's sake, I do believe it WOULD help Eri as well as her flaw was never taking responsibility for what she did, even her HOPING he'd save her was born of her selfish wish to NOT accept responsibility for her actions STILL (She just WANTED Endou to forgive and SAVE her back then without every taking responsibility or apologizing before the Glare made her scurry off! Just went to show she STILL didn't get WHAT she did wrong! Kondo RUINED HER, but then again, like Miyuki she ruined HERSELF the second she made the choice to CONSIDER anything Kondo said as "wise!" Like how fucking EASY was it for him to convince her to abandon her BEST FRIEND FOR YEARS! It's not that he's a master manipulator, it's that Kondo does a good job making himself look like "Mr. TOO PERFECT" that none of those girls have a good mindset AKA a good sense of DANGER, well they DO, they just think nothing major will change and make the IDIOT gamble! Like gambling your entire life away and assume "they won't REALLY take it all if you lose right?" Only Yes fool, they WILL
