Differences
•Kiyotaka used Horikita to hide himself from the spotlight so that he can have a peaceful high school life - Kei used Hirata to put herself into the spotlight so that she can have a peaceful high school life
•And of course Kiyotaka used someone who doesn't get along with everyone (Horikita) - Kei used someone who gets along with everyone (Hirata)
---[At one point, Horikita and Hirata switched places when Hirata was the one who was not getting along with everyone and Horikita became the class leader]

•Kiyotaka suffered abuse since birth - Kei suffered abuse in early adolescence
•Kiyotaka was victimized by adults - Kei was victimized mostly by kids her age
•Kiyotaka's suffering was mostly not social in nature (it was confined within the walls of the White Room which does not follow normal social rules, structure & dynamics, where the other kids who are with Kiyotaka are experiencing the same suffering as him & all of them are focused on their personal pain & growth) - Kei's suffering revolve around social humiliation, ostracization or being outcasted (where she's alone when it feels like the whole world is against her), and being everyone's scapegoat so as to not make themselves the target, these heavily involves social norms, structure, dynamics, unwritten rules, etc.
•Kiyotaka does not easily forgive - Kei does not plant grudges
•Kiyotaka likes to read - Kei doesn't like reading
•Kiyotaka allows girls to go in and out of his room - Kei doesn't let guys go inside her room
•Kiyotaka's wound on his hand was caused by a person's attempt to do self-harm - Kei's scar on her abdomen was caused purely by a person's intent to harm another person
