Regarding hexa "coming on too strong", can't it just be that she greatly admires Pippa because "she's just like me frfr, but successful" and, meeting her idol like this, she was desperate to have Pippa like her ? It has happened so many times, I forgot the count, that Pippa would raid/interact with a 2-view and they would reveal themselves to be fans of her.
Also,
@Short You're my hero for archiving this.
