Episode 9- Hayami fanservice

edit: Well, they did say Hirose's blindness was psychological, or at least implied it, at the beginning. I'd say his mother committing suicide, especially if it was in front of him, would've been enough shock. Rivalry has all but settled this ep, with Hotaru accepting that Hayami is the one in Hirose's heart. Hirose has always cared more for Hayami than any other character, but whether it was because of her situation wasn't always clear, which made the love rivalry fun t watch, despite feeling a little sad for Hotary. lol at Yui undoing her hair and all. The Elder also surprisingly didn't take the opportunity to drive Hayami away. Guess with the village accepting Hotaru now, he's rethought how everyone should act around Hayami. As he says, Karma.

edit2: And the moon really suits Hayami.

Yes, they did state that Hirose's blindness was psychological.

edit: Wow. The preview for next episode reminds me of that final breakdown episode of Evangelion. More to the episode itself, it seems the Elder was fine with not killing, or driving Hayami to the edge, but taking Hirose from, in his mind, Hotaru wasn't something he's letting happen easily. The plot twist was rather unexpected, but didn't blow me away. Hirose keeps saying it's got nothing to do with Hayami, but doesn't act that way, while Hayami returns to her old self. I wonder what "lies" meant in th preview. It's the first serious preview we've had, so I'll expect next ep to be pretty full on. Sure he's found out a lot of things, but I can't see any of those as lies....guess the wait is on for next week.
