My impression, Risa's the more assertive of the duo, like she's not afraid to come out as a lesbian to family, friends and colleagues (which she has done). Aya on the other hand, doesn't seem to be as confident as her and so she ends up being the closeted lesbian who gives in to peer pressure. Naturally, those two will clash over their differences.
What happens at the end between them could go different ways. Probably the most realistic and harshest ending would be, Aya finds a man, gets married and have kids but ends up living a miserable life and regretting her choice. Risa being single and never truly happy without the love of her life. A hopeful ending would be those two reconcile and repair their once broken relationship.
True, I just wanted to add that Aya is not like Sumin. She knows herself and that she can't do it, and she doesn't string Risa along. So to me, Aya is not an unlikable character or a manipulative person.
I think the setup is pretty clear they will eventually end up together, the question for me is how. I would just really dislike it if this turns out to be something like Yuzu and Mei dynamic, where Risa always tries to make Aya reciprocate, while Aya is avoidant and doesn't work for the relationship.
I just wish to see the dynamic between them change now and Aya start working to be with Risa. Or Risa realizing that this is not the end of the world and she can live without Aya just fine.
