I didn’t say Fragrant flowers bloom with dignity One-handed cured my miserable week, but I can’t prove it No. Once again, this episode brings pure loveliness to the rooted exploration of prejudice and its impact on people’s daily lives, which is with Kaoruko’s absolutely perfect hairstyle to do so. Seriously, this is my way hope My hair looks like it. Reality involves more curls, so it’s more about “I sleep with my hair sleeping in bread” and “lovely cute”. No wonder everyone wants to be with her.
Of course, this is too much for the reality of the situation. The real attraction of Kaoruko is more than just physical attraction. This is her way of open heart to welcome everyone. Rintaro and Subaru are both first-hand, and that’s behind Subaru’s dislike of Rintaro: She’s worried that he’ll steal Kaoruko from her. When she faced him this week to ask if he and her best friend were dating and stop meeting her, what she really asked for was to let him not take Kaoruko away. For Subaru, Rintaro risked her replacement. His appearance was also misunderstood, which meant he would need Kaoruko in his life. In her mind, he is her male equivalent, and since he can provide something else as a boyfriend, not as a best friend, she fears Kaoruko will spend more time with him. This is a very fragile place.
It’s no surprise that Subaru really won’t say it out loud. Instead, she mainly put her concerns on Kaoruko’s fears rather than on her own. When she is worried about what will happen to Kikyo, she is not lying if Kaoruko is known to have what will happen to his perceived enemy brother. She may yes Worry, if the teacher knew about her friendship with the Chidori boy, they would retaliate. (It’s shocking that students learn their attitude from teachers. It’s almost like the bias that adults teach kids!) Given the high attitude of Kikyo teachers, I think they might suspend Kaoruko’s scholarships for improper and inappropriate scholarships, which is not a problem. But I also think Subaru’s most important issue is the potential loss of her friends, which she really can’t comply with.
I am proud of Rintaro standing up for himself. As we see later in the episode, he is almost always ready to sacrifice his comfort, if not his own, and he does it without any thanks. Part of him might think it was what he had to do in a world that found him frightening, but it was just a testament to him as a good man. His first reaction is always to think of others in front of him. So it’s important when he tells Subaru that he won’t stop meeting Kaoruko. What are you talking about he Want and stick with it, saying he will take up the space.
Regardless of whether Subaru knows this or not, her concerns, being friends with rintaro will have a negative impact on Kaoruko’s school life is the best way to seed doubt. If there were about two people who liked each other, Rintaro would undoubtedly be more relaxed in his position. But, as Subaru shapes it to him hurt others, doubts are rooted. It makes him wonder if what he wants to do is the wrong thing, like before we text her we see how he passes the exam. Subaru is not a real threat to this emerging relationship. Rintaro himself is disguising himself as kindness.
We will see how the social pressures of his own Chidori friend fit next week. Now that they have seen the notebook Kaoruko gave Rintaro, they will also encourage him to stop interacting with her. Can Rintaro use what happened to girls on the train to improve her self-worth? Or will everyone around him convince him with Kaoruko that he needs to apologize for the existing one again?
