>>101479793It does suck, and I definitely get what you mean. Oneesangumi was a fine subunit within sankisei when Rushia was around because it didn't feel like it existed to exclude someone. When Rushia got terminated, it kinda killed that grouping because it would very much be viewed as "sankisei but without Pekora" and that just feels bad for everyone involved since they very clearly care about Pekora. In the long run it was net positive, because it made her grow closer with all 3 of them and made sankisei go from artificially close to having more genuine friendships, especially Flare but Noel too. But now we're in yet another rut with Maririn.
>>101479843If anything she was the roadblock preventing the others from getting close, cause Flare clearly didn't think too fondly of her which meant sankisei never would've bonded fully.
