Fair enough but if you like someone, why can't you resolve a situation in a way that addresses the issue. She obviously wants to be with him as she lied about the boyfriend thing and enjoyed him being 'jealous'.
Rather than ending up with a shitty outcome of him accepting that she doesn't want to speak to him or him too moving on, just be brutally straight forward about it.
Nothing about Shiba's approach is mature, she literally said that she's ghosting Paul to 'teach him a lesson'.
He still doesn't realise that she likes him, but he's realised that he wasn't pulling his weight in the friendship. What about his behaviour deserves punishment?
