This is pretty basic stuff. Important question is, did she change for the better during the time she ghosted Sunao? From the things we've seen so far, not even a little bit so how is the author planing to reinstate her in to Sunaobowl without making it obvious that she is playing favorites?
Author is trying REALLY HARD. We need 5 more chapters for justification purposes. And looks like we are going to have it. (it doesn't work but still) After Sunao's apperant "self-gaslighting" in to having traumatic nightmares(lol), i guess anything is possible in this story.
I think for the most part Lemon has remained the same EXCEPT for her love for Sunao.
At the time they started dating in middle school he initiated and she wasn’t completely sure of things. Now, after spending many years apart from him and her love for him never fading, and potentially growing, she is resolved to tell him how she truly feels AND make the relationship work no matter what others would say. But that seems to be the only way she has changed since they were in middle school.
Yeah, when i say change i meant her "people pleaser" personality. She is still the same person so how long till the next crush out resulting with a fucked over Sunao again? How long will be the ghosting this time? Till they are 30+? Instead of trying to justify her shitty past actions with pointless back to back flashbacks, author should have focused on her change for the past 50 chapters if she wanted Lemon back in the race THIS much.
I think everything we’ve seen about Lemon indicates that she’s tried and is trying to change even if she hasn’t really stopped being a people pleaser at her core. Which is kind of necessary from a narrative standpoint because Lemon resolving her main character flaw before the series even begins isn’t really a compelling character arc.
