Funny thinking back to earlier episodes where people just took Shiori at face value and hated her for what they thought she was going to do to Hinako. In truth, Shiori was just doing whatever she could to keep Hinako alive. If they had that death pact together, then Hinako wouldn't seek death elsewhere. She just wanted to see her happy again so she came up with that false promise. The end goal was always to bring back the radiance she saw in that little girl.

When you look back at all of the earlier episodes it really recontextualizes everything Shiori was doing. She's not some heartless manipulator, she's just lonely and clumsy, stumbling through any attempt she can think of to help Hinako and unfortunately since she has no idea what she's doing a fair bit of her efforts backfire.
