I think Kokoro and Tokuko are in similar positions. Tokuko doesn't want to be bullied, so she's doing whatever she can to build her way up. Kokoro doesn't want to be bullied, so she's siding with the bullies. But in this case both of them are still doing something bad.

I won't go into detail about Kokoro since we're currently far from her post, but I will explain what I have for Tokuko. While it's sad that Tokuko was bullied (this isn't canon, by the way), it's even more sad that the result of her bullying caused her line between good and bad to blur slightly.

I imagine she was a witness to people getting away with bad things often, especially when those bad things happened to her. In this case, someone might shove her, and it will cause her to cut her hand on something. When explaining what happened to her parents, the incident was dulled down to "she fell and cut her hand" or "someone bumped into her" and then some.

Because of this, rather than focusing her hate on the lies told to keep some students out of trouble, she focused her hate on the person themselves. This is what caused her animosity towards Kizana.

Kizana hasn't particularly done anything terrible. She might have told a couple of white lies, maybe bending the truth to fix her own mistake, but it's never been at the harm of others. The reason why Tokuko hates her isn't because of whatever she does. It's because she acts just like the people who had pushed her around in middle school.

Tokuko likely doesn't understand that Kizana hasn't done anything wrong, if anything, she probably wouldn't even notice it if she DID do something wrong. What makes her bad isn't her actions, just her "undeserved status" and "snarky attitude" is what makes her a bad person.

Due to this, Tokuko probably does bad things to get her way, but doesn't think she's doing anything wrong because she's either the victim or because she still acts like a "nice person".

To put it simply, due to how often her bullying and harassment were brushed off, she ended up believing that what happened to her wasn't the problem, or likely wasn't anything bad at all- it was just the people that were the problem. This is probably why Tokuko hates Kizana more than she needs to be and why she's unintentionally worse than Kizana is in actuality.
