Another solid episode. If it weren't for the shot of the dying sunflower at the end, which doesn't seem to foretell anything good, I would say it ended on a hopeful, positive note. Yoshiki is making the first steps in acknowledging *Hikaru* as a new person instead of a substitute for his old friend, and *Hikaru* is trying to cope with all these new feelings. I like this shot since it basically boils down the entire conflict to a single shot: they can only move on by connecting and trying to understand one another, and not by verbally or physically attacking each other.
