    Default somehow/anyway

    --Alice won first place in the physics contest.
    --Really? She doesn't like chemistry, _________.

    Can we use both somehow and anyway in this sentence? Thank you in advance.

    'Somehow' is not appropriate. 'Anyway is possible, but I would use 'though'.

    However, the exchange seems unnatural to me.
