What a genre shift. Feels right.

Nazuna's an outcast because she plays around instead of plays around. The others kill their food if they get found out while Nazuna doesn't really care, and she's generally just making her victims feel good and relaxed.

I also kind of understand her aversion. The others seem obsessed with Girls Talk subjects in a very obnoxious gyaru manner. Nazuna seems to appreciate much deeper connections like with Ko and Akira.

One last shout-out to the absolutely brilliant sound design of this series. We only hear a faint wind & general city noise in the background of that whole discussion scene. It's really natural for the scene, the type of which don't usually get that level of detail in any medium. But that background din is also a heavy feature of the "nighttime vibe" of being alone in the middle of the night.
I really loved the record scratch sound effect used to emphasize the punchlines as Ko devastates the ego of each of the other female vampires, especially when it isn't actually interrupting any BGM. It's a neat stylistic touch to hit the vibe of the show, but also maintains the chill attitude about silence that this series excels at.
