>Kishimoto immediately forgot about her confession after it happened and she goes back to barely interacting with Naruto
Tappei put Rem to sleep and took her out of the story. Another similarity I guess.
>Hinata barely ever interacted with Naruto beyond the occasional passing greeting
This is false. Hinata had the Chunin Exam where Naruto fought for her and Rem had the malbeast arc where Subaru saved her. The proud failure speech is also an example of a very good interaction.
