My heart broke a little seeing Ami try to move on while still being stuck in the past and the soundtrack during that sequence was perfect

That one scene in the rain where Hiroshi looks so conflicted really sticks in your mind and it makes you feel like the show actually cares about these characters

It is wild how this series can jump from sci-fi to a literal soap opera, but Ami's struggle with her feelings for Hiroshi feels genuinely painful to watch here

Seeing this episode handle the heavy drama between the siblings is actually pretty surprising and it makes you forget you are watching an old ova from the eighties

I really felt for Ami when she started crying over the old photos and it made the whole taboo aspect feel way more tragic than I was expecting

The animation on her face when she rejects that other lover is surprisingly detailed and you can see the exact moment she decides to be alone

It is weirdly poignant when Ami ignores that phone call, especially knowing she is choosing her music over the toxic cycle with her brother.

I was so happy when Ami actually stood up for her own dreams for once instead of just being a toy for the men in her life since she deserves a real life

The music they used during the quiet scenes in her apartment really captured that lonely feeling of trying to start over in a city where you know nobody

Looking at the old photos of Hiroshi while she cried really makes the title make sense and it feels like she is trapped by her own memories

That flashback to her childhood was actually pretty sad and it explains a lot about why she cannot just walk away from her brother despite how messy it all is

The way the lighting shifts when she thinks about her stepbrother makes the whole mood feel so heavy and depressing even for this kind of show

Ami trying to move on to her singing career while that producer keeps pushing her is so hard to watch after everything that happened in the last part

I felt so bad for Ami when she was staring at that piano and trying to force herself to forget about Hiroshi because you can tell her heart just is not in the music yet

I really struggled with how Ami treats her career as a distraction from Hiroshi, because it feels like she is just running away instead of actually healing. The scene in the studio where she almost breaks down during the recording shows how much that relationship still haunts her, and I just wanted her to find some peace away from the drama.

That ending shot of the rain was such a mood and it really emphasizes how stuck Ami is in her own head

It feels like Ami is just going in circles and my patience for her constant crying over Hiro is starting to run out this time

The way the music swells during those quiet scenes in her apartment really captures that gloomy 80s vibe and you can tell she is hurting

I think the vintage art style is the only thing keeping this together because the plot with Hiro is getting way too messy for my taste

Ami looks so lonely when she stares out that window and it makes the whole forbidden love thing feel way more depressing than the earlier parts
