I'd say this episode wasn't bad at all. It tackled a serious issue, abuse, which is unfortunately something that happens in real life as well. Although the pacing is still slow, it makes up for it with its emotional weight. I liked how Makoto handled everything on his own here. I mean, it wasn't really his responsibility, but he genuinely cared. The visuals were still spot-on, and I especially liked the colorful nighttime scenes shown in the first part of the episode. Overall, It's not great, but it's good enough!
