Episode 18

Everyone's Reactions

The opening and closing lines mirroring each other, with hope woven into the end, really worked for me. I love how they portray the interpersonal dynamics in this human drama; I couldn't look away until episode 18 ended. The twist revealing the serial killer and the "trash deserves death" scene felt so fitting for a world full of assassins—it gave me a chill but also made total sense. Seeing Eriko as the target and her patience finally snapping resonated with me; I could tell many others share similar struggles, which brought a lump to my throat. The little details in the world-building, like the chirping pass case and the toxic plant-filled environment, are so well-crafted and fun to watch. Next up is Request 19 on November 8th. I can't wait to see how the aftercare continues!
