• Nor was it, "Mashiro, leave your manga, and come back to your worried friends over in England."
  
  
• And not even a, "Mashiro, come back to England, *I* need you, and *I* am worried about you."
  
  
• What it was was, "Mashiro, leave your friends at Sakurasou, all the hard work you've put in, your manga, and abandon Japan (along with your current life) because a lot of strangers want you to paint back home in England, and you're worthless with out them."

You then have (the very quick) scheming, plotting and meddling.

So basically you rigged the interpretation of Rita's actions under an assumption which might be completely wrong. Isn't this a bit too early to throw around "scheming, plotting and meddling" accusations?
