Hiratsuka Shizuka Arc
"Here is your payment for this time. I'll be counting on you again next time."
"...Thanks."
Hiratsuka Shizuka took the envelope filled with cash from the man with the menacing face and turned to leave the building.
She walked into a convenience store to buy a canned alcoholic drink, downed it in the parking lot, and then slammed the empty can onto the ground with all her might.
"Damn it! That bastard Hachiman! He's completely ruined my life!"
Once a middle school teacher, Hiratsuka had her teaching license revoked after a video of her beating a student went viral online.
In the video, Hachiman's face was blurred and he remained unscathed, while her unblurred face left her unable to find any employment.
Her family was also utterly disappointed in her and had severed all ties.
Discovered by an underground talent scout while in despair, she was now forced to make a living by acting in action films.
"It's all the fault of that bastard who refused to join the Service Club! Why am I the only one being punished!"
She didn't believe she had done anything wrong at all, insisting that it was "tough love."
Thinking of the fully enclosed elite high school Hachiman attended, she kicked over a trash can and roared: "What a joke! I'm going to that dump of a school this weekend to settle the score with him!"
Yuigahama Yui Arc
"Hey, want to go get a parfait after school?"
"Sorry, I have to go visit Sabre's grave today."
Yuigahama politely declined Miura's invitation and headed to the pet cemetery alone.
Looking at the dog food offerings, the tragedy from the day of the entrance ceremony surfaced once again: while she was walking the dog, its collar slipped off, and as her beloved pet dashed into the driveway, it was run over by a car belonging to the Yukinoshita family.
Having witnessed the mangled body of Sabre, she had cried and missed the opening ceremony, only returning to school two weeks later.
Every weekly visit to the grave was filled not just with sadness, but with a growing rage toward Hachiman:
"If only it had been Hachiman who got hit and died back then! What kind of person just runs away without even an apology!"
The girl stomped her feet in anger: "That's it! Next time, I'm going to that guy's school to demand an explanation!"
Yukinoshita Yukino Arc
"Look, that's her..."
"The one who ran over Yuigahama-san's dog..."
"How pathetic..."
"But Yuigahama-san forgave her, she's so kind..."
Yukinoshita endured the surrounding whispers as she walked toward the shoe locker, only to find her indoor shoes shredded once again, forcing her to walk home in slippers.
Ever since the video of the car accident was uploaded to Twitter, she had become the public enemy of the entire school.
Having her desk scratched up and her textbooks torn to pieces had become a daily occurrence, yet the teachers all turned a blind eye.
Forced to live alone, she finally snapped:
"Why should I have to be bullied by these idiots!"
She turned her fury toward the absent Hachiman: "It's all that trash's fault for refusing to help! Sooner or later, I'll make him pay the price!"
Komachi Arc
"So, the plan is to go to the elite high school this weekend. Are you coming, Komachi?"
"Of course! I'm definitely going to make that trash kneel and apologize!"
Hikigaya Komachi hung up the phone, her heart burning with rage.
After the school trip incident, her brother had not only hurt Yuigahama and Yukinoshita, but had also fled to a fully enclosed school to shirk his responsibilities.
"Can't get into the school? There's always a way to make him apologize!"
The girl clenched her fists, "I'll definitely make him perform a Dogeza!"
Daily Life Arc
"Are the weekend plans set?"
"Besides watching a movie and going shopping, I also want to take a leisurely stroll."
"How about walking around the school campus?"
"I agree. But Sakanayanagi, don't push yourself since you aren't feeling well."
"It's fine. In an emergency, I can just have Hachiman-kun carry me bridal-style."
"Please, don't say things like that in the cafeteria... the stares from everyone are so piercing."
"I want to be carried too..."
"Hiyori! Don't add fuel to the fire!"
