As summer ends, this episode shows the quiet sadness of growing up and changing. Moments feel very critical as the characters reflect on themselves and slowly move apart.

I love the friendship that is building between Makoto and Chiba. Chizuru remains my favourite character, and her level of freedom in self-expression is nice. But damn near unrealistic for a middle schooler. The pacing here felt a bit tighter. The twist was quite the subversion of expectations. I was not expecting twists in this anime. I love it!
