No, but then there's a bit of a problem, I imagine that her anger is something comes out unpredictably, in outbursts she can't control, rather than as something "constantly hidden" in the back of her mind.
I don't think Hanako needs to feel constantly angry inside in order to have a very negative view of people in general...for a whole decade, Hanako's been living with the idea that the world had already written her off as a human being and throughout those 10 years, her friends, schoolmates and teachers all reinforced that idea. It's pretty much become her reality by the time she entered Yamaku and rather than being angry about it, she's pretty much resigned to it...most of the time. I tried to write Hanako as someone who's lived with this worldview for nearly a decade and has only recently been making genuine attempts to distance herself from it and look at the world through a more positive perspective, but who tends to lapse back into her old world view during times of stress or anxiety. Core beliefs don't change overnight after all and I figured Hanako would need a lot of time to completely change hers.
Hanako doesn't come across as the type who would hide her true feelings very well, if she was feeling angry, she'd show it, or at least hide it poorly. If she was happy, she'd let it show completely too.
And yet Lilly, who is generally pretty perceptive, seems completely unaware of the misgivings Hanako has about their friendship. So is Hisao for the most part. He comments to himself at the end of the game how wrong both Lilly and he were about Hanako. So obviously Hanako can hide some things extremely well. I think whenever she's scared or uneasy or happy, she can't hide that well. When it comes to things that confirm her already existing worldview, that's probably a different matter.
A good example would be the moment at the end of the pool game in her route where Hisao tells Hanako that he'll protect her...in hindsight a gigantic misstep. What Hanako was thinking was probably something along the lines of: "So this is what I am to him...a child that needs protecting. Is that why he's been hanging out with me tonight? Because he's taken pity on me?" What she's saying though is...well, she doesn't say anything at all. She was probably somewhat upset about that remark, but rather than speaking up, she just looks him over. I agree that Hanako probably wouldn't be able to to tell lies with a straight face very well. But simply not telling others what's on her mind...that's something she does constantly. There's a big difference between lying and keeping her thoughts to herself; she's probably rather bad at the first, but she excels in the second.
True, but Hanako has known Lilly for a much Longer time, her reaction shouldn't be the Exact same as when she vented at Hisao in the game, maybe it should much more calmer and venomous, since Hanako has had more than a year of Lilly's maternal instincts, and she should be able to articulate her words better..
Hanako's known Lilly for some time, true, but the conclusion she jumped to about Lilly was rather recent...about a week old or so. Hanako went from believing certain things about Lilly, then attempting to change that way of thinking and then seeing her old beliefs "validated" at the worst possible time. Hanako was also emotionally in a very bad place (much worse than she was on her birthday and probably too far gone to be calm and rational and articulate) and Lilly's attempts at quickly mending the situation merely played into that conclusion, so I didn't think Hanako's reaction was out of character. Given the circumstances, it seemed the most "logical" reaction.
Like the last scene, "This is me, this is All of me...", that was a special line between Hanako and Hisao, it just doesn't feel too right to have her say that to Lilly. Maybe the last line should be just Lilly saying "So this is.... This is you .....Hanako."
I'll admit the final line was placed there because it was tied to an equally emotional moment from the past, but I didn't think it was ill-suited. Using well-known lines from the game in a different context (either completely different or somewhat different) has been something I've done throughout the story and I figured this was a good line to end the story with.
I hope I'm not coming across as overly defensive. I appreciate the feedback and the opportunity for discussion.
If I could chime in, I think Hanako said something in the park scene near the end about how she didn't like people because they made her feel useless, but after meeting Lilly, and then Hisao, she couldn't make herself think that way anymore.
I guess this would be in support of Darknus's conclusion, but I could be remembering it wrong.
The part you're referring to is where Hanako mentions she stopped believing in friendship ten years ago and upon meeting Lilly and Hisao she tried to (and wanted to) convince herself that they were different from the people she used to call her friends, but still found herself unable to put her complete trust in them. Which is pretty much in line with the way she's portrayed in this story.
Hanako said she didn't have many friends before she got her scars, but that she tresured the ones she had. So the way I see it, she doesn't make a lot of friends, but feels really close to the ones she does make. Now between things she says in both her bad ending and her good ending, here's my take on it. She's afraid that Lily and Hisao aren't really her friends. That they don't see her as a child. As someone to take care of out of pity. That they don't see her as an equal. That's what Hanako's afraid of, and when she gets mad during her bad ending it's because to her Hisao's actions confirm this. I wouldn't say Hanako has misanphropy so much as she's afraid of the friendships she has not really being true, and just motivated by pity. Her fear turns to anger when she thinks it's confirmed.
Hanako used to have a small circle of friends before her accident (indicating she's never been and never will be a socialite) whose company she valued, but when those friends became her bullies, she stopped believing in friendship altogether and she's pretty much held onto that belief for 10 years. Misanthropy has varying degrees...some of it is hatred or disdain for humankind and some of it is simply distrust of people. I wouldn't say Hanako disdains people in general, but she's definitely distrustful of them and is unable to completely trust even those closest to her, believing they'll eventually abandon her when they get bored with looking after her. I'd say the distrust-part of misanthropy fits Hanako to a tee. I think we're saying pretty much the same thing with different words here.
