En este episodio se puede ver lo difícil que puede llegar a ser expresar lo que siente una persona, al perder a un ser querido. Tener tantas ganas de gritar y sin saber como. 😭

Akihiko’s backstory finally drops, and it explains a lot about him. No wonder he can give Uenoyama such mature advice about love. He really feels like a supportive senior. Meanwhile, the band starts facing some complicated issues. Curious what kind of lyrics Mafuyu will write.

Tension rises before the live show. Mafuyu is still struggling, and Uenoyama worries whether everything will come together in time.

Episode Context

Given hits a contemplative stride at its midpoint with an episode that trades forward momentum for emotional excavation. Ritsuka's internal world takes center stage as he grapples with feelings he can't easily name or categorize, and the pacing deliberately slows to let that discomfort breathe. Akihiko steps into a mentorship role here, offering perspective shaped by his own complicated history, which adds welcome texture to the ensemble dynamic. The tone is introspective and quietly tense, this isn't an episode built around dramatic confrontation but around the ache of self-realization. Haruki and Mafuyu remain present but the lens stays firmly on Ritsuka's struggle to reconcile who he thought he was with who he's becoming. Fans of character-driven drama will find this one rewarding; those wanting plot acceleration should know the groundwork being laid here is essential.
