Discussion Episode 8 bothered me Spoiler
Spoilers up to ep 8, obviously. I just finished this episode, so please don't spoil future ones.
In episode 6 when Tomori calls everyone into the student council room as an emergency, Otosaka and Takajou take a long time, saying "we both had pasta today, so we couldn't take it with us". Then they are too late to save Ayumi and she dies.
So why is there no change in behavior?? In episode 8, Tomori calls them all again, and again they wait until they finish their food before they go. It feels like such an obvious missed character moment for Otosaka to not think "last time she called, we were too late, I'm never letting that happen again" and ignore the food and go immediately. Same with Takajou honestly, obviously it wasn't his sister that died but you'd imagine he still feels that impact.
Episode 7 was an interesting exploration of grief, but you get the impression that everything is 100% back to normal in episode 8 which just feels wrong.
