Confused on their sudden friendship (Spoilers of ep 6)

I think the scribble gave them something to talk about. For the first time they shared a dialogue between each other. Marina saw her as an insect and Shizuka saw her as some monster. But they talked to each other, turns out they are not that different. Which helped them forge a bond.

With the message of the series being no matter how bad things are, dialogue might be able to make them better. If you talk to other people about your problems, you might find things in common to bond over and share the pain. Even if things don't get better, at least you have someone to share them with.

That's how I interpreted it.

I don't think both of them have memories of the past but they do seem to have some flashes of the past, especially the incompetence of Takopi.

I just now completed the show, and I had some doubts about a few things which was mostly cleared after reading the other posts. But the one thing I don't understand fully is the sudden friendship of Marina and Shizuka at the end. Like, in the last timeline, Marina was just bullying Shizuka and then she saw some doodle which kinda resembled Takopi, and as she had a few memories of Takopi, so she became Shizuka's best friend??? Because they were both lonely, but if that was the case then, why didn't they become friends before that. And what about the second (where Takopi met Shizuka) timeline? According to that logic, shouldn't Shizuka have some memories of Takopi even then? And why didn't she become her friend then? If we're taking the case they became friends because Takopi did not interfere in this timeline, then what about the first (takopi met Marina) timeline, even in that, Takopi did not interfere during elementary school time period.
I'm just having a hard time understanding the fact they became friends just because of that doodle of Takopi, whom they barely remembered.

If anyone have more explanation in this matter, please share them here

Marina recognised Shizuka's scribbles and both realised, that Takopi was in fact real, just like everything that happened. They started talking, then conversing. This forged a bond between them and the two became friends.
This is the overall message of the series. You need to talk to eachother and solve issues in civil manner.
