^That's not so easy. You see, many people think that introverts are just attention bitches and they love to victimize themselves, or they only do things to "stay cool", however, in most of the cases it's just that they're not able to show their interior right. Like it sounds, they just haven't learned how to do it properly for whatever the reasons(and those reasons usually are easy to determine by the way, but not easy to deal with).Consider it like a kind of self-defense mechanism. It sucks because for much that you want to do something... you just don't know how to. I'm absolutely sure that Riho keeps in her heart all kinds of great feelings towards her senpais, towards her group mates, and probably towards many of the hidden faces that move at the sector, and that aside from her personal life ofc. For god'sake, after months and years staying with the same people you definitely build a lot of good feelings towards them, it's unavoidable (and that doesnt mean there are no problems, but it's not what we're talking about now). She just doesn't know how to express herself, and it's also unavoidable that it can bring a lot of hate, plus her being a center makes it worse. And it's not like that would just instantly change, you needa looooooot of time. And meanwhile everything's going to seem awkward for many, and even fake to anothers, but that's how it is.... and she still has a heart <3
Speaking of seniority... I think that with her now becoming one of the major senpais... it will actually help her grow her outer self a lot. Kind of like it happenned with Sayu (even though her case was different). I mean, look at that new generation! They're awesome! I think that it's because she's already established good relationships with 10ki and Sakura, more as friends than as kouhai, because the ages were similar or even greater, that she wasn't able to feel more that way, but with this 12th generation I'm really seeing her opening more her heart. I'm so much hoping so!
