I wouldn't get too hopeful after 4 years of this awful arc, especially for her too. Carrot is like that cutesy, adorable girl whose a little awkward but endearing, trustworthy and such but gets overshadowed by the far louder, more energetic, more "well endowed" and confident and thus popular girl or however that trope/cliche goes lol.
I want to be optimistic but I can't be anymore. Not at all.
