This is WAAAAAY better than how they show it in the anime imo
Because it makes sense, granted, he is a teenager but he isn't as sentimental immature to feel bad about himself for what some random girls talked about, but rather he overthinked, something that for someone with a lot of insight does makes sense and did this out of worry and empathy for her, even tho he still wrong;
I am way more fan of this version for sure
