Here we go! Given Time is Running Out, put a lot into motion. We begin to dig deeper into Hiiragi and Sato’s past.
Hiiragi decides to stop by Sato’s job. Is he trying to mend their friendship? The loss of Yuki was a loss for both of them.
The band’s first gig looms closely and there is so much uncertainty.
Uenoyama contemplates about his conversation with Nakayama. Has he lost his edge? Sato is in a state of suspended animation trying to sort out his emotions.
Nakayama gets a visitor at work. I really enjoyed stressed out concert promoter Take.
This exchange with Ugetsu and Kaji was very interesting. Kaji being serious about the band was a surprise to Ugetsu. It appears that Kaji was never really serious in his music pursuits.
The Seasons are practicing hard, as Sato laments. Sato is a mix of sadness and confusion.
Hiiragi desperately wants to sort things out with Sato, this is very difficult and Sato is really unsure whether talking to him is a good idea.
I wonder why Hiiragi never acknowledged he knew about Yuki and Sato. They were all best friends, it’s reasonable to think if people in your group start dating you might feel left out.
Sato needed this emotional release, it actually startled him that he had this voice. Passivity was their group dynamic. It’s definitely time to clear the air.
Hiiragi is dealing with a lot of hindsight. Hiiragi knew his friends were in a relationship, yet he ignored it. The flashback of the early days with the crew was adorable.
Yuki’s personality complemented Sato’s. They balanced each other perfectly.
Yuki’s guitar and the crew rocking out was bittersweet.
This was not a simple spat, it was actually more. The argument was more serious than anyone realized and we don’t know yet what it was about.
I can’t even simplify this, Yuki was suffering from major distress and Sato finds him. How can Sato cope with this kind of loss?
Hiiragi wants solace, he can’t expect that from Sato; Sato doesn’t even know how to process his own emotions.
They now have build a friendship without Yuki.
Knowing that Sato was physically abused by his father was heartbreaking. He confided in Yuki immediately.
Say it louder little Yuki!!
Sato is bleak and he doesn’t sing. I think it’s time to worry!
The Seasons, I nervously smiled through this.
Everyone showed up to support them. I love supportive friends and family!
Luckily Nakayama has a backup plan.
It’s literally a few hours away from the performance.
It’s interesting to see Uenoyama reason with himself. Sato is like dude it’s not over yet!
This episode is perfectly titled, Given Time is Running Out…I’m stressed out!
