Summary
Hasebe initially stated that she doesn’t hate going to school. She fairly believes that it went smoothly for her from elementary school to high school. But if she were asked whether she liked school or not, she wouldn’t be able to positively bluntly answer on such query. The main factor was her well-developed chest which made her suffer during her childhood days from the teasing of the boys and sympathetic looks from the girls. The growth became even more remarkable and prominent during her junior high school attracting more unwarranted attention. After some time, her heart grew cold because of this. She claimed that sacrificed her daily routine of exercising just to avoid those lecherous gazes. As a result, she became isolated -- their impression of her naturally became one of a cold and arrogant person as people around her started to become distant.

To her, burning those bridges was very relaxing and so she thought it was okay. As she promoted as a high school student, she's already used to be a loner. Though she joined both of Karuizawa and Kushida’s group, she doesn’t force herself to get close into their respective circle. She claimed that she originally planned to live continually like this, of not becoming friends with anybody - however, little did she know that the circumstances may change.
