Episode 8 - HS

Looks like Banri is longing for his lost past, after all, despite telling the opposite earlier and fearing for his current personality. I suppose that's natural. I wonder if that past is gradually trying to restore itself. Maybe it's beginning with feelings rather than concrete memories if his outburst means he's (re)developing romantic interest for Linda. That's going to be sad and tough for Kouko. Normally I'd say Kouko knew what she was getting into by going together with a brain damage patient, but Kouko is not really a normal person herself. In fact I still can't decide if Kouko's interest in Banri is 100% genuine. Or if she's even capable of normal, pure love.

Regardless of the outcome, I do hope Banri isn't such a giant douche he would secretly keep meeting and communicating with Linda, getting more and more strongly attached to her behind Kouko's back. Considering he really does like Kouko, that would only mean his memories are coming back and are replacing his current self. Because, honestly, his old self was such a wussy it would two-time out of fear (insecurity), indecision, and general loserness.
