That’s not part of the scene or the metaphor though, she doesn’t know best and she doesn’t smoke it down to where it just says she does, she discards the cigarette when Naota approaches and she decided to opine about how much she loves his absent brother, you know like sandals with the feet drawn in or a panda with an angry face
It's almost certainly some Chinglish phrase that was lost in translation, much like what is on all the bootleg merchandise you see in Asia. Nothing deep about it.
haha jokes on you i loved it because I got the absolute shit molested out of me by an older girl (7vs12) and then she dumped me to start molesting an even younger boy
hahaha i bet you feel dumb as frick now
a few years later we made up because i couldn't hate her, despite the fact she thought I should

Nah, it was lightning in a bottle in the truest sense.

Anyone else like watching virgins try to understand this show?

Hate when people do sequels this way, oh it wasn’t just a crazy few months in some kids life where an alien punk girl showed up, she’s actually the space angel of helping kids hit puberty and she appears to anyone who gets horny, bullshit. And that’s besides the fact that it’s just cringe

Yea. Is the phrase "Never knows best" supposed to mean something?
no
It's a reference to a rock band.
No, it's a non-phrase like "it can't be helped"
From the DVD commentary:

This Black person put the thing there and didn't even realize the double meaning of it saying "knows best" after smoking some of it.
or he recognized that it could be interpreted infinitely different ways and just left it there for people to struggle to figure.
Japs are lazy and their education system is trash

La Creatividad
its a cigarette, burned a third or half down, so a fourth or fifth word was there, and it was your job to figure it out what it was
Teenagers love shit that sounds cool but doesn't mean anything
god i wish i could go back
OP is just a low IQ who was stupid enough to believe that frame is somehow deep and sophisticated. It helps him feel good about himself.
you speak like you were never a teenager. SAD!

I always knew Neve was a slag
You only liked it because you were a kissless virgin back then. I know I was. Then I got pussy and realized how cringe this series was
haha jokes on you i loved it because I got the absolute shit molested out of me by an older girl (7vs12) and then she dumped me to start molesting an even younger boy

I'm positive you are still a huge homosexual
You peaked in 2005
I'm terrified of going into oblivion alone bros
we all die alone, best to come to terms with it anon
You can bring the Adoring Fan with you, though Flame Atronachs will probably waste him instantly
