SJ’s green nail polish symbolizes devotion and support. Once, when she and Justyce were still close friends and subtly flirting, she asked him what his favorite color was and bought a green nail polish to match it. When he sees her wearing green nail polish at Manny’s funeral, he understands the message she sends: no matter the misunderstandings between them, her affection continues and she wants to support Justyce however she can.
