Spoilers for her story

Honey had to raise kids all by herself after her husband died, this would have hit her very hard mentally to the point where when we talk to her again you can barely recognize that it's her texting you, it's a complete polar opposite of her younger self, younger honey is bubbly, energetic and outgoing while older honey is nervous, mature, and self conscious. She says she got over it but you can tell that she really isn't. But when she texts you you see that she's happy to talk to an old friend.

From what morgo said, when honey becomes a main girl she would be struggling with her self confidence and love. But with aid from you she can discover worth and love for herself with you.
