Screenshot for Episode 4:
This is actually a pretty eventful episode with a bit of personality exploration on Aono, but as Kaoru has mentioned, the consistency holds in how the episode has been paced. The pacing is just as deliberately soothing as ever. This is an episode:
Spoiler for dialogue and image specific from episode 4:
More I see the more I like Aono's character. Here is an interesting exchange of dialogue between Koyori and Aono when they met for the first time in the hospital lobby.
Koyori: Can I ask your name?
Aono: The wrong thing came out.
*Aono is speaking meditatively as she stares at the cup of liquid on her hand*
Koyori: Hmm?
Aono: When I pressed the button, the wrong thing came out.
*Koyori observes the out-of-order sign near the vending machine that has fallen under*
Aono: I hate coffee... because it's bitter.
The dialogue that follows after is pretty cool. We get a glimpse of what is churning inside of Aono for the first time. I won't give it away.
The episode is pretty much provided a lot of those glimpses about Aono which dismisses the notion that she might be a one dimensional character. Just look at those screen above. Aono smiling is so uncharacteristics. As we saw from earlier episodes, Aono tosses those dolls aside as soon as Yorito brings them in his visit. Today he forgets, and Aono is pretty unforgiving in her own way. Yorito wants to make up to Aono. Aono demands Yorito brings her 5 of those dolls tomorrow. Aono also knows exactly how many dolls Yorito has brought her, and her favorite of them is the one that Yorito has brought the first time. She smiled that sweet smile when she was talking about it.
I've enjoyed this episode very very much.
