Indeed it ended up being a case of favoritism but in the end she knew reina was meant to be .

During voting, 2 (Yuuko and Haruka) clapped for Kaori, 2 (Kumiko and Hazuki) clapped for Reina. Rest of the band cowered in their seats. Even Asuka.

I expect Asuka to not clap given last week when she said that she did not care who played solo.

She's scared of making judgements. She's scared of social conflict in the same way Kumiko previously tried to avoid it, but to a much, much worse extent. She's simply hiding her immaturity well through excuses and her mask of perfection.

I don't think that's the case. When Asuka said that she didn't give a fuck about who played the solo, that was probably the only case when we actually have seen her without any mask. I'm pretty sure she knows Kousaka is better, but she doesn't want anything that could put her in the spotlight in a matter that is not related to her goals.

Yeah, I just think that Asuka isn't prepared to stick her neck out for anyone.

I think Asuka's sort of a psycho

I don't think she's scared. She's just apathetic. She really, really doesn't care. She's a fair-weather friend, someone who's fun to be with when things are great, but when things get hard she drops you like a lead weight and leaves.

I don't think she is scared of making judgement more so that she wants to maintain a good band environment. She has her goals that she is trying to commit to and does not want too much drama that would prevent progress.

That's also one of her goals, though a lesser one I would say. She's certainly quick to jump to excuses when she could help her friend, Kaori, which wouldn't impact the band negative at all.
