So this episode is where I get the idea of her being weak to peer pressure. She feels forced to accept the role of class rep and agree to do something about the class, even though she has no intention of doing either of those things. Which leads into my favorite line in the episode "I guess he took the hint." The oddity finally shuts up and lets her go about her day after she showed it that she is perfectly capable of accepting responsibility and then doing nothing about it, thus if he annoys her too much she may just stop looking for his corpse. I really like Nadeko's character, so I'm gonna yap for a bit. She's meek and easily manipulated, but simultaneously is also quite the manipulator herself. The people around her view her as both cute and pathetic, and it lets her get away with a lot, and also avoid unwanted attention. Or at least it used to. Now in the course of a few weeks she was nearly killed after rejecting a boy who took notice of her, was pressured by her teacher into doing his job, and has now been guilt-tripped into helping a snake god. Even her attempts to convince Araragi that she isn't in trouble have backfired and he is even more invested in her safety. Assuming she's telling the truth, of course. Shinobu grills Nadeko pretty hard and really drives home just how much Nadeko gets away with just by appearing meek. Just how much of her personality is a facade? And how truthful is she being, to others, to herself, and even to us the viewers? Anyway, those are my thoughts. Don't take them as gospel or anything, just another perspective to supplement your own, if you wish.
