i guess Lotte really wanted to see her mother but was scared of disappointment and rejection. she tried to look like she wasn’t that eager but it was just obvious that she wished so hard to see her mom. anyway, the plot started to build up a little here. interesting. and Naoya really should control Asuha sometimes. that kid was a little too loud with everything. just rubbing things on Lotte’s face and made her sad. tho she did it unknowingly, it was still a bit annoying. all in all. i was not expecting that ending at all. wew. good one
