I wanted to see more Shiori, but at what cost? I can't believe the author pulled that infirmary scene out of her, I always trusted female author, but damn I felt like this episode is redundant. I thought since the author is a female, they'll treat the childhood bestfriend more nicely, but I guess Shiori will still be just a tool here. But I do appreciate that, once again, the miscommunication trope is solved in one episode.
