interesting how wille's initiation into hillerska composed of him being dragged away from the safety of his room kicking and screaming, tied to a statue, gagged, and hazed, while sara had significantly more fun, was able to laugh and talk, took pictures, and actively cooperated with the girls to pass her initiation.

with hillerska being a metaphor for status and influence, wille was born into the life and had pressure and expectations shoved on him. he didn't have a say in most of the decisions surrounding his life, and he was the one humiliated by august, who organized the initiation as well. sara on the other hand, is desperate to fit in, and she does anything and everything she can to get a spot with the rest of the school, whether that means keeping august's secrets or setting fire to a flag.

also the fact that both initiations were seen as tradition and normal, but while wille was an unwilling participant, sara went along with her test despite felice assuring her she didn't have to. it represents their arcs this season - wille tries to break away from the traditions trapping him, and sara gets into a relationship with august even though he's a complete fucking asshole who she didn't have to be involved with any more than necessary.
