EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming directly off 'Yes No,' where Kouko's feelings became impossible to ignore, 'Masquerade' deals with the emotional fallout and new territory that confession opens up — making it a crucial bridge episode at roughly the quarter-mark of the series. The Banri-Linda dynamic also gains complexity here, establishing a tension that will carry forward. This episode deliberately sets the table for 'Reset' (Episode 8), transitioning from relationship formation into the messier reality of navigating them.
