Adding intriguing scenes at the start was really good to build up curiosity regarding the plot progression. However, the trajectory of the storyline has become quite predictable, as I noted from the very beginning that the story is typical. The pacing is fine now, but instead of becoming progressively deeper, the narrative feels a bit too simple. But who knows! Maybe the next episode will offer some glimpses of turning events. Plus, the episode relied a bit too much on fan service.
