I just realized while watching this episode that the romance and love triangles of high schoolers feel very real haha. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve experienced something similar loving someone so much that you hide your feelings just to see them happy and support them no matter what. I think I went through that before, and that kind of struggle really hurts. Now something happens in the sea village that really surprises Hikari, and it ends with a cliffhanger.
