She hates that word. 'We're friends', people say over and over, in stories unfolding in the words written on pages and stories unfolding right in front of her eyes. It's pathetic, how easily humans trust others and bond with them without a second's thought. Why open your heart up to the world? You only do that when you have nothing to lose. When you're so useless and weak, people won't take the chance to stab you right as you let your guard down. She is not useless and weak, she has the whole Saionji clan and her father's pride and her grandmother's words and all the hate in the world right on her back, so... she can't open up to anyone holding a knife. And she can't use the same word those naive morons all around her sling around.
Allies. She only has allies. That's a relationship of true trust, like her and Big Sis Koizumi, who never wanted a thing from her- like her and father- maybe even Big Bro Hinata. With Ib? Could she have the same with Ib?]
...Do you want to be friends? I could be faking, you know! I could be lying this whole time, sweet-talking you, putting on a dumb 'big sister' image, just like any other piece of scum on this world.
i apologize for the tl;dr...
