Shouya isn't different though. He didn't stop bullying her because he had some magical change of heart. Had he not taken the sole blame for everything and been bullied by his own "friends" than he would still be the same little shit he was at the beginning. He realized the error of his ways only because he was subjected to the same damage. Ueno didn't have that experience, so she held onto a grudge that she formed in her adolescent mind. We've all done that. All the characters retained some piece of their personality from that time. However, Ueno DID have a change of heart in the end and became good friends with Shouko.
