Episode four gives us a deeper look into Nikaido’s backstory, adding layers to her character and showing how interconnected everyone’s lives really are. What’s fascinating is that, as viewers, we’re piecing together these connections while the characters themselves remain oblivious, a clever use of dramatic irony that keeps us hooked.

The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the story threads to overlap naturally. It’s almost dizzying to see how much the characters’ paths cross, yet how blind they are to the bigger picture.

Another standout element is the suspense around Risu’s killer. Dagu knows the truth but refuses to reveal it, which is both frustrating and alluring. This silence hints at a larger, more dangerous antagonist waiting in the wings, and the tension of withheld information makes the mystery even more compelling.
