When did it even switch on to this topic? I don't even want to go back and look.
I guess this show pulls in an audience that is easily polarized.

The hell is up with building up a 'friendship' while harbouring private delusions only to suddenly spring them out in a confession she can't possibly respond to?

There's a difference between "considerate" and "selfless".
And what's with "friendship" in quotation marks? We have no reason to think the friendship wasn't genuine. Actually, we don't really know how long they've been friends at all, or how they met.

Passive aggressive nothing.
They talked on the phone just fine afterwards. But bringing it up again could have just made things awkward again. Not bringing it up is exactly letting her sort her shit out. It was the girl and Tohru who pushed the issue.
