Also, here’s a run-down of what I understood from Sasha and Loretta’s characters so far:
Sasha is clearly toxic but also seems to be going through some things (doesn’t justify what she did and/or is doing, it’s just an unrelated side note). She’s in denial + won’t accept what she’s doing is wrong and in turn is just doing this to uphold her ego/pride. She’s literally gaslighting Loretta into thinking that she’s overreacting (that’s what I understood anyway, please correct me if I’m wrong), and is too focused on her own situation. Sasha is also too focused on moving forward instead of also reflecting and looking back at the past. Her “here and now” mindset being mixed with her prideful personality (which if I need to be clearer, is the toxic kind) prevent her from accepting what she did was wrong. She needs someone to slap some sense into her (and seeing how confrontation from the victim isn’t helping, preferably a third party).
Loretta was bullied by Sasha (at 10 years old no less, which most probably traumatized her) and is therefore confronting her about it (starting off with saying she doesn’t want to be friends anymore). When Sasha asks why and doesn’t seem to understand what she did wrong, Loretta is (understandably and for a valid reason) furious. She continues confronting Sasha, stating what Sasha did wrong but Sasha just starts putting herself first pulling the “I went through worse” card and just straight up belittling Loretta. Loretta herself is a normal person who’s going through some things as a result of Sasha’s bullying, and responded normally to Sasha’s denial.
My understanding of their relationship is victim and bully, with a very fragile base for a potential friendship (which seems to have shattered already).
