This chapter separates in two big chunks, the “dream” scene and the flashback sequence. We see the event immediately after the attack on the hotel room, the attacker, while dismissive, isn’t a complete antagonist? In fact, this could be a test. Anyhow, the dream show Yui’s two biggest regrets, the whole Yukio incident and, for the first time to us, her parents’ death. The attacker is definitely someone who is aware all of this. We also learn that Sweetch is dead, oh no…! not Sweetch… wait… who is that? I don’t know, but they are definitely someone close to Yui as it adds to her mountain of regrets. She doesn’t have time to mourn before she is launched to her next test. I wonder who this Sweetch person is? Are they a friend from school? The name makes me thing is another entity from where Nobu, the attacker and her powers come from. We’ll have to wait and see!

The next bit is a bit more traditional, a flashback, I like it that at first we think Yui is aware of everything that happened before (or, I guess, in the future?) , but then its show that she isn’t. This part is a release from the tension of the previous part and its loyal to the whole way the story is written, in a flashback format. I like it! We see the formal meeting of Yui’s friends. And a few insights on the school politics; the tired teacher and Koharu who is, again, interesting. Especially when he is secretly delivering messages to Yuiko. Once again Yui’s friends are lots of fun and I just cant get enough of Manabu’s emoticons.

In summary, I liked this episode, A very intense beginning followed by a much needed comic relief. Again, I like the idea of the story occurring on two timelines, especially because we see how the past affects the present first hand; for example, we see Yui’s guilt over Yukio’s death followed by how they met. Keep it up, you are doing great!
