After what happened before, I feel like we're slowly setting up for the upcoming plot point, which is nice. But something I noticed is that whenever they're setting up plot, the pace slowed down, which isn't a bad thing (At least for me), but it is noticable enough. I feel like after what happened last episode, we'll be diving to the player and NPC relationship, which is fun. Overall, a good bridging episode, I hope it'll ramp up soon!
