I think what really bothered me the first time I read this, was the fact that Sato didn't seem to care about Sono at all, and Hiroko was probably trying harder than Sato in every aspect of their respective relationships. One-sided love always kind of bugs me for that reason.
I kinda like that. I think it is realistic in a way: most of the time, we simply don't choose who we love. It's not about who tries harder, or who deserves anything. Sono just loved Sato, and that's all there was to it.
Though I will say that it's pretty clear Sato did care about Sono the whole time. She invites Sono to stay as long as she wants, no questions asked. Not many people would do that for their friends, even for their best friends. Rather than comparing Sato to Hiroko, just look at Sato's actions on their own. It's obvious that she cared.
