Overview:
Chise attends P.E. as Elias looks on. Philomela is summoned home. Alice stubbornly continues her training, while Adolf consoles Renfred through his troubles. The students embark on a camping trip.
Our Take:
Nothing, like a childhood flashback to make you feel bad for a character. I knew there was more to Philomela than we’ve seen but now I just A) want to know more and B) want her to be happy because the way she’s treated is awful and one thing I’ve learned from fiction is that there is no reason to treat a kid that way.
Small thing but I must have just realized that one of the professor’s names is Adolf… this must take place before a certain war if you know what I mean.
I don’t think we got this look into Philomela’s life just to feel sorry for her though. The students are embarking on a camping field trip to Scotland which to me sounds amazing but I have a feeling there is going to be some big conflict during this trip. If the creepy eyes staring out from the bushes are anything to go by that is. Maybe calling it a big conflict is putting it mildly.
