Suiko soooooo freaking good. I can't think of many characters in any series really that have so little screentime but that I love so much. Some interesting connections that manifested from her scene in this episode;

Okay so Suiko's goal is that she was trying to find someone with the ability to "break through."

she meets Seiichi here and talks to him about her powers, among other things.

the kid who wrote the letters to Seiichi was killed by the Towa Organization because he had the ability to make people "break through." Suiko and this boy never got the chance to meet, even though they had abilities and goals that perfectly matched each other. and it's a cool form of dramatic irony that the characters never even knew that they had completely missed the chance to find each other. that's something only the audience knows.

the first book also has a more dense conversation between Nagi and Suema about why Nagi became the way she is, and it has a lot to do with Seiichi's dying words; 'what do you think Normal is?' pretty good question considering the tangled mess of morally gray ambiguity we have going on here now. it would probably take me like 10 posts just to try and discuss that considering almost every conversation somehow revolves around this core concept, and the characters still haven't really figured it out or come to any conclusions.

like consider the following: Mo aka "Sasaki" is definitely an evil character, and he works for an organization that we've generally seen as villains. Nagi in particular would have multiple really strong reasons for hating him. and yet they end up working together because of how Towa is competing against the kisugi in this scenario. it's definitely significant that "Sasaki" was changed so drastically after his encounter with the boy that could influence people's personalities and unlock their potential just by speaking a few words to them, though.

also the PLAYS. kisugi wants to kill Nagi because Nagi is fearless, basically the type that she prefers to taste the fear of. we think that Nagi has figured out who the killer was, because of some clue, but then at the end we find out the kisugi intentionally left a clue so that Nagi would find it, because Nagi was her target.
