"Why do I have to go through this?" echoes the line she said at the beginning of the chapter. So it's a mirror of her situation with Sadako. She kept rejecting Sadako's attempts at friendship and then went and got scared of her, even though Sadako didn't do anything wrong (she got attacked by Mone first). She just judged on appearances and prejudice. She did to Sadako exactly what Yoshi did to her.
So, I hope this will lead to Sadako and Hanako mending their relationship.
Also, this series was sold from the beginning as an action series, not as a romance. People should stop complaining because the characters aren't immediately feeling romantic attraction.
The problem with this manga isn't so much pacing than the irregular schedule.
