Not all men, but always a man - that (very clearly hyperbolic) sentiment is exactly how I feel about the man we see in this episode. That being said, this episode is the furthest thing from focusing on a man; in fact, it's a young girl who's trying to navigate the world on her own despite her less than normal home life. For the first time as far as I remember, we don't really focus on anything relating to contract killers and we really just see Eriko coming into her own, with an obstacle here and there and her working on her own confidence. The contract killer thing only truly becomes relevant towards the end, but it's so small in the gran scheme of Eriko's story that it may as well not really be a part of the episode, which I actually like. It shows that sometimes these things are going on behind the scenes and not so much in the forefront like we see them happening so often in this show. I just very much enjoyed Eriko this episode; I did let a couple of tears slip at one point just because of how her experiences hit me emotionally, and that, I think, is the most beautiful thing this episode.
