That was a long time in the past when I was in high school still, fresh in high school so nearly a decade in a half. But I have been watching anime since I was five and have never moved on. I still prefer to most american or wetern shows.

I also agree with all of your points to. And some of this can be attributed to bad writting. For both characters. Both needed more ground work; Kokoro was developed to the point to where we saw the split coming. But Futoshi wasn't developed at all. In fact it is so bad to where the audeinces interpretation is left up to just this episode and only half of it at that, which him being overly dramatic was I believe for comedic effect, and to show he was hurt than to make him a cry baby (bad writing.)

I do find it funny how he single handidly disproves her concerns about confronting her partner in the same episode. He pilots with Ikuno at first way better than she does with Mitsuru. While crying and being an emotional wreck throughout the entire episode. It's funny because now I believe that was supposed to highlight how much his support meant to her.

I also agree that they should have a quality heart to heart at somepoint and it be shown. He deserves her apology. And not the weak, good girl one we got in this episode. But one with an explanation, that will be important for his character growth. But I also kind of hope they go along with how they appear to be, Him leaving it behind him.

Also thanks for the reply with you own well thought out points. I love discussing story lines like this with people. It is so interesting to see other peoples point of view on what should be a collection of facts.
