hear me out, them post-game

I very read this chapter as Karen being abused by her parents and forced into the theater club and her having anger management issues. With Aiko's death being because Karen tries to tell her in a very roundabout way about her parents and her not wanting to be in the club. But Aiko doesn't get it (because the whole being vague about it thing) and Karen kind of flips out about it thinking Aiko intentionally was ignoring what she was saying. I think post-game they'd talk about and realize they had both been misunderstanding each other and end up making up.

But then also post-game Karen saying fuck it and doing whatever she wants- except she's kind of lost as to what it is she likes to do. Aiko decides to help by dragging her to do everything. One of these things is them falling in love with each other.

Also also, Karen becomes a lacrosse girlie. That's not plot. It's just important to me that you know this.
