MC is a coward and can't even bring to get respected by middleschooler.
TBF to her she's a rather timid person to begin with, entirely new to this teaching business and empathically not over all the bad shit that led to her current life changes in the first place ergo extra fragile emotionally. And hazing the new teacher on introduction is something of a hallowed animango tradition.
And last, we have the 3rd girl, the grow up one, Kodama in her extreme generosity decide to give her the twisted family, she is the daughter of her dad and his mistress but the mom is kind enough to let her live with them and the other daughter, who is one of her classmate. Said mistress is suposs to bea prostitute btw because why not and when Ashima get back in the end of the chapter, she kiss her "sister" because of the bad mouthing her "sister and her friends have done to her. Oh and she get bullied too but she doesn't seem to care one bit.
Oh Ashima cares all right, she's just trying to tough it out and put up a strong aloof front. Case in point her obvious anger and pain when she finds her indoor(?) shoes in the trash bin and the naked bitterness in that caustic barb she throws at her half-sister (incidentally apparently named Sakura, going by the nickname her friends use) at the end of the chapter. Note also that the bit about her mother being a prostitute is probably just a typically exaggerated rumour as neither of the sisters has so far indicated it to have any substance. Indeed Sakura actually has a tendency to go visibly quiet and carefully expressionless when her friends trash-talk her sibling which combined with her apparently genuine and personal worry over the latter's late homecoming hints she may personally not be on board with the shitty treatment Ashima gets at all, just unwilling to openly take a stand against it (and thus risk being subjected to the same ostracization). If so that'd make her something of a reprise of Shiina from Cocytus and Ashima certainly has some parallels with Kurosaki from the same... plus vague incestuous tension that'd probably make Mochi nod approvingly ofc.
