Kids in their school don't bother Itoi much after she met Ariyoshi. She doesn't have to bottle up her feeling—her anger, her sadness, her hurt—or pretend that they are something they never were to her. Now, she can really be herself and not something she made to protect herself from their words and actions.

Though, something hasn't changed at all (or not that much). They still ignore Itoi when it is best for them to—when there isn't homework to swipe or emotions to twist and manipulate. They still whisper horrible thing when either one of them walks by. They call them dykes, lesbos, freaks because—

Ariyoshi and Itoi kiss openly now.
