With a little bit of difficulty extracting it from Watanabe’s mouth, I got a gist of what happened to the girl. There’s someone in that club who had an attitude. A senior. And obviously, it’s the usual reason.
Not wanting her light to be eclipsed by Yanagi, she maneuvered to make the girl’s life in the club. Not outright bullying but simple obstructions whenever someone’s not looking.
And even after reporting it to their club advisor, nothing was done. That’s why instead of striving for the club, the girl’s motivation drained out to the point that she started limiting her time in the club.
Whoever that senior was or what measure Yanagi did before getting demotivated, I had no idea. Watanabe told me to find out about it from the girl. But she stressed out that the girl didn’t simply take it lying down.
Yanagi was supposed to be a very competitive girl. Any setback she faced failed to obstruct her. However, this year was different. She got pushed to the point of giving up.
