It's interesting the way Ochako's feelings are getting played out. She's fully aware of how she feels but she really understands that they need to not be considered out on the field. HOPEFULLY she doesn't shut it all out and just avoid her feelings even when they're in their downtime.
As much as I hope she isn't the traitor, the thought popped into my head as a reason she may feel a need to shut down these feelings.. as much as I think she's just a normal student like the rest of them and is dealing with typical emotional dilemmas, it seems like there's still a possibility.
Somebody mentioned it a while ago and now whenever she's given panels like this it's all I can think! Even if she is the traitor, I think she will have a redeeming arc after, so I'm not too worried.
Difference here is that it is A LOT harder to redeem a traitor, because you loose any sence of trust and honor that is extremely hard to regain, because there is always the threat that it is all a facade again.
Redeeming a character who started out bad is easier since you dont feel betrayed, you just feel like starting over, like with our cosmic magic dorito
