A professional would never do that with a scene they have to cut or keep based on its own merits, Either the friend is worth fully realizing, or they aren't worth the time placing in the show. I don't even know what "straw-manning" is supposed to mean here. Perhaps you are confused by me saying they didn't need to show the match. The only reason I said that is because it would mean they don't have to get too deep into deciding what the character's fighting style would be or put in the extra time animating a fight scene. What I was thinking is we could see one or more of her friends and she cheers at them. Maybe one of them waves at her. The Volume 4 scene would show the friend as well and I don't know why you seem to think I was suggesting the friend wouldn't be shown. That said, I am not even sure Yang referenced having friends after Episode 2 unless referring to established characters.
