I walked out of the shower just now and the following conversation occurred (I’m paraphrasing of course, these weren’t our exact words, but anyway)…

Cynthia: Did you get a hair cut, Remy?
Me: Uh, no…do I look like I got one?
Sam: No.
Me: I shaved, if that’s what you mean.
Cynthia: Oh! No wonder you look different.

I guess this is what happens when you shave once every two weeks? I would shave more often…if I cared.

Holy mackerel, this episode was practically overloading with plot and character development. The prediction I made about Hiromi being Shinichirou’s half-sister did get unveiled this episode although I am of the opinion that it was either a lie, especially if you consider Hiromi’s final line in this episode, or that it isn’t actually true. Also, something of this calibre just isn’t supposed to pop up in the middle of the show. :P We still have seven more episodes here!

I know Noe didn’t really have much of a role in this episode but I wanted to compliment her voice actress, Ayahi Takagaki, for what a great job she did this episode. In particular, I wanted to bring up the second time she articulated Shinichirou’s name when they were by the steps at school and the final line at the end of the previews, those lines were simply beautiful.

Will true tears be able to keep up with itself? I’m a little concerned about the future episodes given the recent developments. Can they keep pulling off these awesome cliffhangers every episode from now until the end? We can only hope.
