Direction that does a great job getting across how the characters feel in an episode by Hidenori Ishida? I'd almost be surprised if I wasn't so used to this by now.

Also, I guess this one scene doesn't matter too much, and you didn't bring it up or anything, but as self-appointed translation cop, I feel obligated to mention this:

This whole exchange between Soeno and Sawamura from episode 5 is pretty messed up, and not just because they're talking about the deaths of a bunch of high school girls! There's a lot I could get into, but one thing I'd very specifically like to call out is this line here. Sawamura didn't say a thing about the bodies being mutilated! He just said that the locations they were found in were scattered. This got misinterpreted as the bodies themselves being scattered, and the followup line where he states, factually, some of those locations, is now rendered as a hypothetical because of this initial mistake.

It's been a while since I actually watched these episodes, but I believe the implication here, is that, since people killed by Orphenochs revive for a bit briefly, the girls Yuka killed tried going about the rest of their day before properly kicking the bucket, and because of this, Sawamura is skeptical that the deaths are directly connected back to the school, unlike Soeno, who's sure something happened here, but not what.

I don't know how big a deal this actually is, though. Like, on one hand, the only thing you need to pull from that scene is "Murder Make Cops Go ???", so you're fine, but on the other, most of the dialogue itself is pretty much soup, so...
