Well good to see misunderstading done in half the way through episode and clear it in adult way, It feels refreshing to see misunderstanding that not extended beyond one eps. Seeing admit she wrong about the whole situation is relief to see and back to see their usual smoking activity. We see Sasaki and Yamada smoking in the early morning, well that good view and condition to smoke there. Glad to see their relationship keep growing time after time, hope we can see more in the last few eps.

Damn, waking up at that hour? To smoke? I don't know how healthy that is, but hey, anything for the power of LOVE. Honestly, when Yamada opens up to the cashier grandma, I was right there with the old lady: 'What the hell do you expect me to reply to that? haha' I really liked the episode, I'd say I laughed quite a bit lol

Episode Context

Mini-Episode 9 trades the usual Sasaki-and-Tayama smoking-break rhythm for a quieter pairing. A small mishap leaves Sasaki waiting at the supermarket's rear smoking area, and the ordinary pause turns into an unexpectedly tense one-on-one encounter with Goto, the supermarket manager. The comedy is awkward rather than punchy, drawn from Sasaki's self-consciousness and the unusual intimacy of sitting beside his manager instead of his usual companion. Pacing is compact and conversational, working more like a stretched aside than a plot turn. Tayama remains important to the discussion even though the immediate focus stays on Sasaki's interaction with Goto. The heat-soaked stillness gives the material a personal, slightly uncomfortable edge, and the small talk drifts somewhere more personal than expected.
