EPISODE CONTEXT

Following Episode 5's introduction of external romantic threats that tested the sisters' composure, Episode 6 pivots inward to examine the emotional damage Hitomi's double life inflicts on her closest relationship. Sitting at the exact midpoint of the 12-episode season, it serves as a reflective turning point before the stakes escalate. The groundwork laid here around trust and secrecy feeds directly into Episode 7, 'Stay Out of the Diary!', which continues probing the fragile boundary between the sisters' personal and clandestine worlds.
