I'm glad we got to see the mental and emotional consequences from Ichika's incident, as her parents being aware of her gangrape-which I assume she has been getting psychiatric, psychological and medical attention for given the notes-and the trauma she received is an interesting conflict. I think this may mark a turning point in her character in which she no longer is as antagonizing because she knows what it's like to be the victim and watching her grow and change may prove invaluable to the story. Honestly, she went form a character that NO ONE could empathize with, to immediately one everyone felt sympathy for, and I think that scene on the bus shows you all you need to know about how much that experience has changed her, and I think her arc and who she is now has becoming much more engaging than the one-dimensional bully she was before.
