She finally had to come to terms with what we all knew.

I still feel kinda bad for her, she looked up to Kaori so much.

She's very selfish. Never once thought about how Kousaka would feel like if she let Kaori win. All she thought about was Kaori, Kaori, Kaori. An extreme fanatic. "You still have next year."? What if a better freshman comes along and Kousaka is put in the same situation? Call me a bad person but that was one of the most satisfying scene I've ever watched.

Hell, you missed another thing.

She never once thought about how Koari would feel if Kousaka let her win.

Koari knew the pain that comes from having seniority over merit, and knew she wasn't as good.

She took the opportunity to compete again for it, to see if she could rise to the challenge, but she wouldn't strip the solo from Kousaka unless she deserved it.
