I really loved the writing in this episode. The way it intertwined two plotlines and made them work seamlessly was brilliant. t also made me feel emotions in me while watching the current arc and its interesting how Sakuta is threading his way toward his goal.

This episode is packed with uncomfortable emotions in the best way possible. It digs into different perspectives on love, attention, and connection without giving easy answers. The conversations do most of the heavy lifting, and the mystery surrounding recent events keeps getting more compelling.

The whole situation with Himeji is so convoluted, almost like it doesn't really amount to much. Glad to see that there's some progress on santa girl, though. There's not many episodes left so I'm hoping there is a good payoff. Overall, a fairly productive episode compared to the last one.
