I guess everyone is a villain nowadays.

Don't need to be villain to be selfish lol. And I mean, she could just not realize it herself. Characters want to keep in touch out of good nature, despite hurting the other side even more aren't rare. Guess it's more like she is "unconsciously selfish".

What would you have her do, exactly? She realizes her best friend was struggling, after the outburst and a forced kiss (btw). Rather than get angry and completely reject her, she immediately returns, apologetic and crying. She comforts her friend, promising not to abandon her (which was our MCs main fear), reassuring her that although she can't reciprocate her feelings, they'll still be able to remain in each other lives. MC is comforted by this. Now time has passed and our MC is improving and beginning to accept things as they are, likely with the help of said friend. "Selfish" just isn't the chief word I'd use to describe this woman.

It's really tiring how unwilling people are to engage with this story on its own terms. Arisa literally spells out the point for us in the narration on the last page! She's not stuck on it anymore, this extra is about her accepting her friendship with Fuwako as it is instead of being hung up on her romantically forever!

Well I just kinda failed to see how those words mean she isn't stuck in it anymore. Like she had fun and knew that her love had its value? Then that means she didn't get hurt in those times? How about time when Fuwako wasn't there with her but the fiance instead? And if she was already moved on, how about showing that she is happy with someone else instead of that? Of course she has to move on now, the marriage is coming, like I said, if she can't then it's pure masochistic.

And well, while it's true that it's comfortable at that time, it's hard for me to see how it still didn't hurt Arisa staying friend with Fuwako while knowing her feeling would never get reciprocated. So it's like comfort now, then hurting forever. Or like, even knowing her fear, just cut tie and even if she would get hurt, at least she would be able to see more options. Improving, accepting, aren't those just our head-canon? Do we know for sure how Arisa was feeling then? At least if she just cut tie right away, that 1.5 years would be used for a better result then this "have to move on because the marriage is the deal seal". And tbf, I only said she was selfish "in my eyes". It's normal if you feel otherwise.

What should Fuwako have done to not be selfish?

I already answered, no? Well, at the end, different people have different perception. Like I said, if you see and feel otherwise, it's normal. Doesn't mean everyone has to feel the same way.
