This was a hard one. You can see she’s trying hard to be a “grown up”, or how she imagines she should be, and skip to being over it. Taking the sting out of the memory by calling them just kids and apologizing for all of the kid level “offenses” she imagined she did to provoke them… while skirting around the outing.
But as soon and she found out they were STILL talking about her as a monolith she lost all of her composure and was hurting exactly the same way again.
It’s easy to see one reason she likes her gf so much. A older free spirit who has people, a whole town really, who love her for who she is. To the point she borrowed those friends for added protection because she knew they were good people and she didn’t want to do this alone again.
