I'm almost certain that these are the two ladies who hooked up with Larry, and were there when Marigold hooked up with Will post-breakup. They should have known who Will was, and they have no idea/don't care enough about Mar to remember.
It's really interesting to juxtapose Mar's obvious loneliness in this comic with the pictures she posted on Facebook that Hanna was making fun of in the beginning of "The Witch Lives". Marigold puts on a persona of understanding and happiness in adulthood that Hanna obviously envies, but she really isn't. And now, she has a chance at happiness with someone who didn't decide to be An Adult TM.
Greg is givin the hard truth to Hanna, where Eve is just taking it. I'm much more willing to call bullshit on someone I only kind of know in comparison to a lifelong friend.
It's because often good friends don't want to tell you big truths because they don't want to hurt the friendship. Casual acquaintances can sense those types of things and be honest, because what do they have to lose?
Even so, it was Marigold who cut her hair, and Marigold who has changed her life. It's Marigold who is happy where she is now. Literally nothing in Will's life has changed.
I went back through and re-read the Marigold's breakup chapter. What struck me (esp in comparison to Hanna's) is that Marigold states that she doesn't like herself and she wants to change. I think that's a vast contrast to Hanna, who had everything she ever wanted and now it's all crumbled into pieces. She looks at Mar as someone who has gone through and become happy with who she now is, and Hanna looks at herself and sees that she already was happy with herself. And now, everything's gone.
I wonder if Hanna is just upset that Mar is doing something with her life, post-breakup, unlike Hanna. Marigold's whole problem when she broke up with Will was that she didn't like who she was anymore, and set out to change it. She went through the bad times, and came out of it. If I was Hanna, I'd be bitter, too; Mar and Will didn't date for that long, and despite being a crappy breakup, Mar's turned herself into someone that Hanna barely recognizes. Hanna, who has been in a beautiful, loving relationship that's now gone, can't stand the people who have persevered through the shitty parts because, in her mind, it WON'T get better, and she likes how everything was before. I've said it before and I'll say it again, poor Hanna. I feel so much for her.
