I agree with your assessment that the crying lessens the lets say "emotional impact" in the sense it doesn't invoke any desire to ball your eyes out like it did in episode 1. However, I'm actually wondering if that is what they're going for in the other episodes. Couldn't it also be possible that the crying is supposed to invoke a sense of being uncomfortable?

I mean looking at it from Jintan's perspective, he always becomes upset, annoyed, and really uncomfortable with her crying as was showcased exactly in this episode. That is practically what much of the audience feels as well I would think.
