I mean , as long as the drives go TDFG for Tigers , I ' d be okay with a shootoutdon ' t think that ' s happening <| sep |> My sympathy for her isn ' t really dependent on that . I can feel sympathy towards someone who is mistaken on how to improve their life and in the process ends up hurting others . It ' s something I ' ve noticed in bullied kids , who end up with a low views of others and a lot of hate inside , and they can become shitty people due to it but it ' s hard to hold that entirely against them . In Sengoku ' s case , she probably thinks that Araragi is her only chance to have some sort of close relationship with anyone else , which she desperately craves due to her loneliness . That loneliness stems from her cuteness , which seems to be a result of how she was raised . That desperation makes her do bad things , but that doesn ' t make her loneliness not still be sympathetic . Even so , I ' d say she shows very positive steps forward when she accepts Kaiki ' s deceit . He makes her actually realize how flawed her view of the world is , and that there are other things and people she cares about , and Araragi isn ' t actually that important . That ' s the crucial thing she needed to realize in order to become a better person , and she does realize it . It ' s why she lets Kaiki deceive her . She never previously sought to change her behavior because her worldview was so out of whack and she was so disconnected from others that she didn ' t realize that it needed change . She was fixated on Araragi being her savior . EDIT Also worth noting that in the quick glance we get of her at the end of Koyomimonogatari , she ' s cut her hair short . Firstly , this is a common trope , especially in Japan , that symbolizes character growth and entering a new period of their life . Secondly , it means she ' s no longer trying to be cute . That relied on her hair hiding her face , making her seem meek and scared . With short hair , she ' s now opened herself up .
