Here, let me have a go. Let us say in Volume 3 they have a match in there with one or two of Yang's friends participating. We are introduced by having Yang say to her team "one/a couple of my friends is/are having a match" and then they show a brief match where Yang cheers her friends. Maybe we don't even see the match. In Volume 4 Taiyang opens the door and sees one of those friends and goes to Yang's room where she is curled up in bed moping. He says one of her friends dropped by and maybe she actually asks if it was Blake or Weiss or something like that, is told "no" and then just says she doesn't want to see anyone right now. Taiyang goes back and apologizes by saying she isn't up to seeing anyone. What I just described could take up like 30 seconds each and wouldn't have the faults you are claiming. Now you're just straw manning to avoid the difficulty of pre-vis by saying the friend themselves doesn't need to be shown in a scene conceptualized for the express purpose of showing the friend... which would work, but defeats your stated purpose of showing the friend.

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.
