The betrayal spread like wildfire, leaving Shiroe humiliated. Mutual friends chose sides, with many siding with Yui and Tanaka, isolating Shiroe further. Heartbroken and shamed, she dropped out of college, retreating into herself. Since then, Shiroe has lived as a recluse, avoiding people to protect herself from pain.
