As expected, the setup for this episode takes a while to build up the story's momentum, even though it was precisely brief, it still manages to deliver a subtle romantic tone that genuinely made my heart flutter in significant moments. Plus, the ending cliffhanger somewhat validated my suspicions about a certain character!!!

Un episodio aunque al principio por momentos pueda sentirse un poco lento, es bastante profundo y emocional, tocando temas sensibles sobre la soledad y el no encajar. No esperaba que Himeno fuera a desarrollar una linda relación con su hermanastra, aunque durada poco por el malentendido. Una de las cosas que más me gusta de este anime es cómo la transformación no depende únicamente de habilidades físicas, sino de qué tan saludable tengas la mente. Al final el anime nos deja con el enfrenamiento para el siguiente episodio y con la tensión de saber cómo harán para salir bien.

Himeno's indecisiveness causes Fenrir to injure her knights, especially Sasame, and this guilt weighs heavily on her. Himeno encounters Mawata, and the two connect in a very endearing way, like true sisters. Both carry heavy burdens and have no one to share them with, or so Mawata thought. In this episode, Himeno manages to find the motivation to fight again, and although the journey was long, that's precisely why this episode is so good. You can't overcome fear overnight.
