E4 voters are pointing to her as envious because she experiences envy upon seeing Kyoumoto’s superior technical drawing abilities, which is the very straightforward and broad definition of envy that anybody can experience in life. E3 voters are saying that she is not envious, because Envy as in the vice of E4 is a specific, innate feeling of being somehow fundamentally lacking compared to everyone else and therefore irreversibly differentiated. I also realized that nobody attempts to explain Fi dominance, just stating that they ‘see’ it or she ‘is’ it with no elaboration. Fujino does nothing to show that she experiences Envy in the context of E4. A vice in the Enneagram is such that it always manages to show up no matter what the subject is doing—in Fujino’s case, if Kyoumoto had never entered her life the way she did, we would see the bitter, obsessive experience of Envy projected onto something else, another ‘reason’ why Fujino is inferior. But we never see this at any point. Before she finds out about Kyoumoto’s existence, she is calm and unbothered, (un)subtly basking in the attention from her classmates. Afterwards, once Kyoumoto gives her validation, there is no Envy in the way of working towards a shared goal, and the E4 (esp. SX4) compulsion to compare and find oneself short is somehow never present in a lifetime of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with someone who supposedly caused her so much envy. This is because everything was about external validation from the beginning. Fujino is concerned with the comparatively shallow external environment, not her own deep feelings of lack that cause E4s relentless emotional turmoil and persist independently of the environment. That is Vanity, not Envy. The fact that her experience of envy is not a constant projection of the false internal lack onto anything that can reinforce the belief that she is not enough, but an attachment triggered by and limited to one external force (Kyoumoto) and the shift of external validation onto that force is the smoking gun that she is an Attachment type, not a Frustration type. It is also very telling that Fujino does not draw out of passion. She does not draw to express herself or navigate her inner world (Fi, E4), nor to translate her emotions from the feeling to a sensory medium (Fi -> Se), nor to be understood (E4), nor to be true to herself (Fi, E4). She draws because it produces external results. For her, these results are mass praise and validation, as this is one of the external references E3s use to confirm their self-worth. This is the very first connection we are shown as an audience; we see that Fujino draws, we see that what she draws is published and shared to many, and then we see her basking in the class’ praise. When these results are threatened by Kyoumoto’s columns, she does not wallow or self-deprecate or view it as an identity failing—in fact, she does not look inward at all, only recalling the praises others gave her—she immediately uses it as incentive to get better and makes tangible efforts towards better technical drawing. This is how a Competency type operates, specifically Competency + Attachment (AKA Enneagram 3); they attempt to demonstrate their skill by using external reference points and thereby match whatever is considered impressive, which causes the chameleonic nature of E3. E3s view themselves as changeable (unlike E4s, who do not), so the solution to a lack of validation is simply to get better, and to change themselves into what received the validation they chased. And, like clockwork, she tirelessly changes her work ethic and even begins to resemble Kyoumoto, spending all of her time alone drawing and with a higher technical focus in addition. The resemblance is so complete that others remark on it. Then, when the columns next show that Fujino is still behind in technical skill, and the class’ validation will not come to her again, she drops drawing like it is nothing to her. There is no feeling of parting with her identity, no leftover emotional investment, no connection. When she realizes that there are no more prospects in productivity or validation for one thing, she moves on to the next. Additionally, her way of moving on is not to draw for herself or find something that she is actually passionate about, but it is to adapt again and do everything she was criticized for not doing during her intense drawing phase, because her reactions are still based on external validation.
