There is a point in Episode 7 where a half-dozen dudes stare lustily while she quietly reads a book and it's the most terrified I've ever been watching Kamen Rider.

Other than that, though, a really great Airi episode. There's a thing it felt like they were doing in the beginning, as they cut between Airi and Hana and Yuumi, where it was going to be about these women and how their lives intersected with Riders and imagination monsters from the end of time... but, no, just some good character beats and an inescapable sense of ennui. I'll take it!
