This episode effectively elevates the escalating tension between the featured characters and clearly builds a deeper foundation for the main leads. Nevertheless, I still feel it lacks a bit of profound depth between the two, as their development feels a bit too abrupt for me, and this fast paced progression is what makes the special spark feel a bit diluted. This is why I find myself preferring the other side's point of view instead. Well, the runtime was fine, but the story just did not quite hit the mark. It is just that the focus on the leads' dynamics does not quite hit the romantic sweet spot for me, and in fact, it is actually the other way around.
