And Yuuta, he seems to have been confronting Rikka not for her sake, but, like everyone else here, he now believes that it was all Rikka fault that her mom abandoned her. What a jerk. After all the positive vibes I was feeling about him during the first half of the episode completely evaporated as soon as he realized that it was Rikka's mom with the bento. Once again he just proves himself to be aggressively violent toward Rikka. And he's supposedly in love with her???
Where do you get Yuuta is blaming Rikka for the fact that her mom left? You're jumping to conclusions yourself here. The truth is Rikka couldn't stay the way she is now. Could you picture her at the end of high school applying for colleges and still lost in her delusion? While I don't agree with the way he suddenly went about it, she does have to face reality eventually.

The episode I thought was really good at first, but I'm not sure where it will go from here. Rikka taking off her patch felt forced, honestly, and I doubt some off-screen words by Yuuta will fix things. Kumin was hilarious with the rejection... I just loved how no one really said anything about a girl sleeping in a futon in the middle of the festival.
