The last time you saw me, I was unconscious, you idiot.
[Okay, this is starting to get annoying. He's so determined to project his own opinion of how she should feel onto her that he's blind to how things really are. Though not knowing what unfolds afterward probably doesn't help much... From his perspective, Ryouga should hate his guts despite honoring his request.]
In all honesty, yes, he did tell me what a massive jerk you were to everyone around you. All about the "fanservice" thing you did with people who genuinely admired you. He even cautioned me a few times to avoid you if at all possible. You're nobody's idea of the perfect best friend, obviously, but...
[She remembers thinking about the poisoning incident, and how hard it must have been for Ryouga to focus through all of it. It was all she herself could do just to stay conscious enough to hear Kotori's gentle assurances that everything would be all right from the hospital bed. But that IV managed to pick Ryouga back off the ground and get him to finish the fight... it was either a testament to how annoying he was about it, or how their relationship had changed. Maybe both at once.
But a part of her thinks she should save the intrigue for a time when he can handle it. When he's not on a hairtrigger to knock her down for lying or whatever else he wants to accuse her of.]
Something in the both of you changed at some point. I know what happened with Ryouga, because I know him, but I don't know you. So I'd like to get a better gauge on that before I tell you more of what happened. Or what's going to happen, more like.
