This series has had some goofy dumb moments in it but then it will hit you with chapters like this and you can feel such sympathy for the characters. I could feel how frustrating it was to act for years then your little sister just goes on Instagram for 2 days and your bosses show more interest in her. What poison it must boil in her heart.

I get it but to take it out on her? Seriously? The sister that has supported you the whole time, always doted on you, looked up to you, been there for you, and has been nothing but gracious to you? That's just low. Too low. That kind of outburst is unwarranted. That selfish sister has never supported Ayase's karuta. Never even gone to a match. Hell, her mother finally showed up to one of her matches. *sigh*

It's low, but that's real life for you. People (especially D-list social media 'celebrities' like Chitose) are generally insecure, because showbiz loves novelty, especially one with a story to tell.

The industry simply tosses people (many of whom worked hard) once their 15 minutes of fame is up, without mercy.

As for Shinobu, she's clearly doing a bit of psychological warfare against Chihaya by implying that Arata will soon fall for her charms, which is some clickbait-worthy content for them 'shippers'.
