Also, Saki wasn't pumped about returning Mujica because she was frankly emotionally spent, and she already still had to set aside emotional energy towards making it up to Mutsumi. When we still had to deal with the Mortis-Mujica vs Guitarsumi-CRYCHIC idiocy after the catharsis of episode 7 and it was clear that, no, we have not closed out that chapter of drama, there was this scene where Saki sat there watching Mutsumi fight with herself in her headspace. Tears started rolling down her face, and I felt that. You could feel her emotional exhaustion.

It's admirable that she let herself be guilt-tripped by Nyamu into coming back and really dug down deep for her last scraps of gumption. Then she had to deal with the Hatsune stuff. I also felt it in my soul when Saki yelled off the side of the boat about how fucking sick and tired she is of all the drama. Hatsune really lucked out in her timing. She came clean at Saki's most "fuck it, we ball" point in her life.
