"good friend"

That first year really popped a vein at the back of my neck with how imposing he was with his ideals but not even having a friend. I get that he is envious and felt like it was unfair for "someone like" Heisuke to have many friends, but he doesn't even wonder why he himself don't have friends. Some sense of reflection that the problem is himself and not someone who actually has friends. I'm so used with a quicker resolution where they knock some sense into him so his moment of regret is so achingly slow and he just ended up wallowing after. Like, won't he even try making friends himself?
