The episode slowed things down a bit, but in a good way. It gave Jin and Kouga more time on screen, and I liked seeing how different their lives were without it feeling forced. There wasn't as much action this time, but it did a good job building up the characters. The pacing still felt smooth, the dark atmosphere was still there, and it kept me interested enough to jump into the next episode. If you're enjoying the slow build and want to see where the story goes, it's definitely worth continuing.
