Mother of gods the lack of the drama tag is now very glaring lol
Not to mention (after rereading everything) advertising it as just a "teehee! Just a rom com!!" series is crazy work cuz OOOOOOF shit tilts into drama genre hella quick and it ain't even subtle. I REALLY feel for Yuhi rn - just so traumatised and repeatedly treated as lesser and she has ZERO support system in her corner. Absolutely FUCK Mashiro for whatever tf bullshit she's playing at. I just hope Sakurako can actually get through to Yuhi and realise they've both been hurting each other and actually learn to heal from it together after reconciling their past and friendship.
And after rereading - Sakurako's beef with Yuhi is honestly soooo petty... Like does it suck that she got embarrassed af after putting herself out there? Sure. Could Yuhi have been more tactful? Probably! But goddamn to go this far is ruff, especially after getting all this new context. I'm begging for Sakurako to realise that "oh. I've been extremely unfair to you over a slight that i blew out of proportion." Will that happen? Who knows - she's just a teen and teens are dumb, but it would be nice if it did.
From the timeline given, it seems like Yuhi was likely in the middle of being a tool for Mashiro when she initially rejected Sakurako? Or was slightly before that? And just not willing to think of any consequences of her actions until Mashiro was rejected by her sister and she realised she was being used as a placeholder. Either way, I just wanna give Yuhi a hug, cuz this poor girl ain't ever had a person in her corner that she could be fully honest with, and no one to turn to for help ;-;
