Episode 5

Everyone's Reactions

When [Character] said, "Presiding judge, I ask for a fair verdict," it felt like we were right in the middle of a courtroom drama, and I got completely hooked. The reaction when Halberd-kun's name was shouted was so intense that you could tell everyone was feeling the same way—it made me worry if he'd be okay. I wondered about the line, "How much regret Father must have felt," and how it connected to Halberd-kun. Reading it gave my chest a little squeeze. Next episode's title is "Ballad of the Slippers"? What does that even mean! I had no idea what to expect, which somehow made me even more excited. Watching the two of them fight for the person they both love, supporting each other as they take on Apostles, was just so cool it hurt.
