>>85167688>but is there any reason it couldn't have been Hoshikawa?Ehh I get what you're saying, but Hoshikawa is much less mean than the sort of accepted characterization of rrat!Ayame. Alt!Suisei is much closer to a character study on Suisei, and what she'd potentially be like if all her hard work and dedication weren't rewarded in the end like they were irl, and the "I worked harder, therefore deserve more" mentality taken to a toxic extreme.
