Oof, Shiho is such a pain...
Although I do get her in her backstory. I do know what it feels like having a friend who seems like they want to support you, but at the same time they're better in everything than you, even though you take it more seriously than them. And you don't know whether or not they're only keeping this friendship because they like being better than you, or if they're completely oblivious about your feelings and don't mean no harm.
Since you can't really talk to them about it because you know how they'll react and it won't change anything, the best option is to cut the contact and go separate ways. It's not healthy and the hurt won't go away, also mostly transform into anger, which you'll likely let out at innocent people who have nothing to do with that... but yeah.
At the same time, Shiho was a narcissist (kind of) since she was a kid, and her backstory didn't change that. Becoming a bully and talking down upon everyone just bc are jealous, doesn't make it better. You're just a jerk if you act this way.
Tbh I do admire Hima's spirit of wanting them to get along again, and I know they will likely end up resolving things (as it's always with story-arcs like these), I'm not really eager to go through and read all this drama. Some things are better to be left alone. You don't need to resolve every fight you had in your lifetime. If anything, Shiho simply needs to go to a therapist and get a hobby where she can let her anger out, without bullying and annoying others.
