She reminds me of many high school girls that are lost, unsure of themselves and a lot of people find that self-assurance with the physical reassurance of someone else. Mugi experiences just that – he loses his virginity to his senpai – one of the hottest girls in school and while this is going on, we learn that Mei and Mugi aren’t necessarily having sex because they’re “making love”, but rather because Mei is lonely. Losing your virginity, sex and secrets… it’s like an episode straight out of Gossip Girl but without the drugs and alcohol. Just because I think his past is more realistic to what teenagers might experience in their teenage years in school. Mugi gets a spotlight in the latter half of the episode as well and his past is definitely more interesting than Hanabi’s.

It’ll be an emotional ride for Hanabi from here on out – trying to sort out just how to speak to Sanae again and all I can say is this that… I empathize with her although, avoidance has never been my way of dealing with issues. When Hanabi goes running to Mugi for some comfort, it’s her way of occupying her mind with other things and trying to sort out her own feelings for both Mugi, and Sanae. No one wants to ruin a friendship by taking the next step (whether you’re confessing to a boy or a girl) but I think it’s just as hard for the person receiving those feelings. She likes Narumi (her “brother”) but at the same time, she doesn’t want to ruin the friendship that she has with her only female friend.
Ultimately, it’s a huge load to carry someone else’s feelings on your shoulders when you’re unsure if you feel the same way and in Hanabi’s case, it’s taking a toll on her because she doesn’t feel the way. It hurts because you can either go about it two ways… the first is telling them that you can’t accept their feelings because you don’t feel the same way or try reciprocating their feelings by “giving it a shot” or “giving it some time”. I’ve never personally been in a situation exactly like Hanabi’s before, but I understand what it’s like to have someone confess to liking you and not knowing what to do about it (my expression was probably exactly like that too).
It wasn’t much of a surprise after last week’s cliffhanger, but it certainly complicates the relationship between the two girls now. Starting with Sanae and Hanabi’s relationship right after Sanae confesses that she loves Hanabi. And not in the plot twists Re: Zero type of way, but in the emotionally deep, heart-wrenching type of way. Just when you think things couldn’t get any more complicated… it does.
