shes first to spot the poster for cookie baking classes and expresses interest, discussing how rinko enjoys eating cookies while playing games, getting sayo to think if she could do something for the band like lisa and attends classes. rinko isn't seen in main story afterwards
in her card story that takes place after the classes, sayo gives her a bag of cookies she made and rinko loves them, initially a little surprised but impressed with sayo for being able to make such good cookies and thanks her for them
in the second card episode, she admits she wanted to attend the classes as well but ultimately backed away due to her anxiety...
she wants to step out of her comfort zone though. she wants to try new things, and wants to grow. sayo, who she never expected to see baking cookies, inspired her in a way. joining roselia was a big new step for her, and she wants to continue moving forward, just like sayo
and we finally fast forward to blooming largo. where after talking to ako rinko finally decided to take that big step and look into some school clubs, and is accompanied by none other by sayo, who takes her along and helps rinko, familiar with what she's been through herself
this is why i think sayo was s perfect fit to help rinko come to terms with herself in order to continue growing, and why i love rinko and her growth so much. there's these little subtle things that lead up to this event and it's so satisfying. and she made new friends too!
