@Yabaibunni Sadly this is pretty realistic. Victims of bullying tend to internalize the bullying over time, and start
believing it's all true. They don't realize they're doing this at a conscious level, it just becomes part of their self. It's part of why bullying is so damaging, it can cause long-lasting damage to self-esteem that may
never fully go away. (There are plenty of adults out there with damaged self-esteem from childhood bullying.) She's been bullied for years, Takada's only been around for months at best. It's going to take a lot longer for her to overcome those years of bullying than a few months of Takada's constant praise.
