Aw, Hinako captured Shiori's heart just by being a sweet little ray of sunshine.

Ah, finally we got Shiori's full backstory. Now that we've peeled back some layers I can stop trying to hide that she's my favorite character.

Her story explains a lot about her, doesn't it? How she doesn't understand humans or connections because she just poofed into existence one day, and never got any family or friends or anyone to bond with. And the only people she came in contact with were either terrified of her or treated her like some sort of a deity, so not on equal footing at all.

Or why communication is such a huge issue for her that led to making some pretty big errors in judgement. She usually means well, but the combination of her not truly understanding humans + never really communicating is a really bad one.

Well at least she did learn from the first time, and only gave Hinako her blood instead of her flesh. But life is sometimes random and cruel, and turns out it had devastating consequences for Hinako all the same. Honestly I found the juxtaposition of Shiori wishing her a happy life and the visuals of the accident so, so sad.

Now it remains to be seen whether she listens to Miko's advice or not. Which is pretty simple really: "oh my god just TALK to each other!" lol.

And special mention to the soundtrack again, which was beautiful.

Shiori is my favorite too, so I was eagerly waiting for this episode and it more than delivered. I was pretty much a mess through her backstory with little Hinako.

The reveal that Shiori loves Hinako so much because of something seemingly mundane that Hinako did for her so many years ago is so beautiful to me.

Really drives home how starved for affection she was that this minuscule amount of kindness meant so much to her.

It's so sad to think that Shiori never even got a chance to share a meal with someone until Hinako
