Everyone's Reactions

Watching Naoko try to persuade everyone with her "Shall we call it a day?" line really hits home, especially when she gets that unconvincing reaction back. Akiyama knows he's going to lose but still respects Naoko properly, which just makes him seem like such a nice guy as an opponent in the Liar Game. Also, I burst out laughing seeing Kikuchi, who looked the coolest of all, completely unraveling. His over-the-top acting is so obvious that it ironically makes you see right through his bluffs. Naoko's strategy of making Fukunaga doubt her by acting like she's bad at lying, only to flip the script with a cheerful "It's a lie!" was seriously impressive. I can't wait to see how the counterattack unfolds next and just how deep everyone falls for Akiyama's schemes.
