Blythe likes Qiu (platonically)! that's probably all that i can sum up to their relationship.. + her respecting qiu since "everyone likes him". she'd like to think that they were friends (step 2) but she's too scared to ask them directly then.
but blythe is definitely closer to tamarack! she finds comfort in spending time with her and thinks shes fun to be around. tammy was definitely the sun in their friendship (back in step 1.. and blythe was more 'star'!) but during step 2, blythe takes her turn to be more sunny for tamarack (even though she is ALSO in the dumps .. just like tammy).
and smth extra: i also have a tamarack mc! i never got to share her but if you remember the drawing of the redhead i made .. thats her !!!
