acts cold for no reason
There must be a reason of course, maybe is something dumb like "A kid 8 years ago said that my smile was ugly so I decided to never talk to anyone ever again" I hope not.
Something of a catch-22. If they make it a legitimately good reason for trauma, the manga takes a whiplash inducing turn away from light and fluffy towards serious dark themes like abuse. If they don't, the tone remains consistent but we all feel like Aikawa is kind of ridiculous.
Maybe there's a middle ground, like maybe Aikawa has stupid high expectations on her and equates friendship with a lack of proper discipline and priorities?
But you're probably right, and it'll probably be something pretty anticlimactic. (Man, I miss the original Lyrical Nanoha.)
