Almost makes it worse that Astrid seems genuinely apologetic that she's following Clarisse around. Everyone's been pretty cold to them since they got back, so the odd person here or there who seems semi-friendly is like rubbing salt in the wound.

When she feels like that, she just wants to plead her case again. Problem is, the more she argues, the crazier she sounds. It's a bad cycle she can't seem to get out of, and it never makes her feel better. She never walks away from these arguments feeling like she's won anything, but she can't stop.
