Nice to get some meaningful interaction between Hoeru and Rikuo, with Hoeru showing once more his natural talent to guide people towards the truth in their hearts. He was the first to betray his team after all, so he knows how easy it can be to lose sight of that. Rikuo was too focused on atoning for whatever happened to Rei in the past, while forgetting his wish to bring happiness to everybody else. Hoeru doesn't know the context, but he knows enough that he can tell Rikuo is a good guy who deserves the team's forgiveness, just like they all forgave him in Episode 9.

Sumino wins some No.1 Detective points for seeing through the lie about Rikuo's betrayal, which she leverages to get something high class and luxury. I'll also award Kinjirou the No.1 Seal Impersonator, as he deserves something for his effort.

I agree with you.
