I am honestly confused what actually happened. It feels like the story went "No matter how hard Pina tried, she could not re-create the scenarios from the original work to gain favor with the characters... until she did." Like, I feel like I'm missing a crucial piece of the puzzle for how she turned everyone's opinions around to get the original ending back on track. I don't want to call it "forced", but it really does feel like they skipped over something important.
