If they do come off that way, I can only hope you find my posts, both in the past, this one, and any future ones, at least somewhat interesting or amusing?

I've said it before, but in case it needs repeating: I am looking for conversation, not consensus. As long as people remember to back up their criticisms or praise, I'd be thrilled to see what people think of these shows, no matter my own opinion.

I thought to myself that no matter how many plot holes or stupid machinations there may be, as long as they nail this scene might be representative of whatever the end of this show will be, I think it'll be alright!

In a half-episode full of smart choices, this was maybe the smartest one. I love how minor it all is, how precious and private. Geiz said something mean to his friend instead of being vulnerable, and he's worried it'll be the last thing he ever says to Sougo. He wishes he could've been more honest. That's it. That's so lovely?

And, on the one hand, I'm sort of bummed that Geiz'z whole I Need To Stay speech isn't delivered to Sougo, but I think it's better that it's not. Sougo was never mad at Geiz; he was just disappointed that Geiz couldn't see the value in optimism. All Sougo needed to do was smile at Geiz'z return, and we've got a concluded plot.
