this ep centered around 2 main groups:
mana and yorito / koyori and aono
ill start off with the koyori and aono pair...
while nothing special happened between them we do see koyori's desperately clinging onto aono ~ she tells her to never return but as a friend koyori can never do something like that. Emotions flow as we see her trying to retain that fragile bond by asking for help on a common interest: origami. it's obvious that koyori is just using this as an excuse to be together with aono who tells her to stop after a while ~ then comes the teary scene where koyori tells aono that she doesnt want to lose a friend...
with all the things that is going on i would have thought that aono is planning on moving into another city (seeing her pack up yorito's presents) ~ i wonder if aono will also make herself disappear from everyone's memories like yorito but in a different case...
then onto the mana and yorito aspect of this ep...
it is boiling up! as well as mana is able to hold in her feelings for yorito it all becomes too much in this ep. yorito is being unsensitive towards his friend is what mana is feeling and this causes her to mouth out subconciously but imo those are her ture feelings towards the situation. she tells yorito to be more considerate of her friend's feelings which is rather true. so far he has been holding information from mana when obviously things are not "all right". here comes the dumb male lead again *sigh*
everyone begins to forget about yorito. why? what i think is that yorito's existance is disappearing. after being "killed" by matsuri he is no longer attached to aono (meaning aono can no longer control him as their link has been destoryed). this can only lead to the death of yorito. it is aono who is keeping yorito alive so with that link destroyed yorito will die ~ but looking at the evidence he did have a day or so left to live (well it does take time for all the magic in his body to be used up).
but in the end even mana forgets him...but not without showing any tears subconciously. even though in this state she doesnt understand why she is crying deep inside her a part of mana will never forget yorito as he disappears off into the wind. weve seen this type of plot before but even so the feelings of forgetting someone you know and love is always tragic. and i suspect koyori to be forgetting aono as well. this existance thing is also linked with the erasal of mana's phone picture...with yorito and aono gone from the screen i can only think that the disappearing act is planned.
takeshi and mayuko ends up leaving ~ and i guess this is the final farewell as the exit is done in such a depressing way...
back to the dramatic action! matsuri shows up at aono's house (omg the BGM IS DROOL during this short scene! :3)...its obvious that matsuri plans to end things with aono but im still left scratching my head as to why she wants to end things so much? aono is no longer in control of yorito and he himself is dying off so why? what is it that makes matsuri want to attack aono (who seemly has finished with causing trouble)...i just dont see the logic here and to me matsuri is action off character...goddam cliffhanger end!
and after the mana crying scene we do see yorito appearing again...but being behind matsuri and in a trance like state id say that his days are numbered...or is matsuri living in denial and attempting to make yorito her doll?
