Episode 8 has convinced me that the opening song isn’t just about how the guys feel about Miri, but also how Rei feels about Kazuki specifically.
Hey, I want to love, is this true love? Is just wanting to be loved insincere? What should I do? Oh, what should I do? As usual, the whole city is madly in love and excited. Extras like me just go home, but I’m not sulking at all. And then you appeared suddenly, as though you were ripping through those days with your smile that leaves me numb. You shattered my heart. Hey, I want to love, is this true love? Is just wanting to be loved insincere? What should I do? Oh, what should I do? How the heck should I know? I don’t know what’s going on in your head, but it’s not fair that you’re so friendly. Once again, I’m being swallowed up by your rhythm. There you go, you’ve got me wrapped around your finger again.
Their whole conversation in the car, talking about when they first started living together… they’re describing the song exactly. How Rei was alone, and had never experienced anything even remotely resembling love and affection. But then Kazuki comes blazing in and completely turns his life upside down. Kazuki immediately shows Rei that he is, in fact, worthy of receiving the love and affection he didn’t even realize he craved so much.
You didn’t matter much to me… but then you suddenly started cleaning.
I couldn’t stand watching you live like that.
I wanted to tell you to back off.
Yeah, I’ll bet.
But… it wasn’t so bad.
And now that Rei is confronted with the possibility of losing the life he’s built with Kazuki, he realizes just how much Kazuki actually means to him. And I think it’s suddenly dawning on him that he’s happy. And he’s absolutely going to do everything he can to protect his happiness. To protect Miri. To protect Kazuki.
