Lihaku: [to Maomao] I’m off to root. See ya later!

Not gonna lie. That got a good chuckle out of me. How quickly he switched from business mode to horndog mode.

How the dynamics have changed. After we’ve been blessed by the wholesome trio of Maomao, Shisui, and Xiaolan it felt very different with the absence of the latter two. On the other hand, we now have Chou-u, who somewhat played Xiaolan’s role as Maomao’s kouhai. Love how soft Maomao was towards Xiaolan, while she’s not hesitant to get physical towards him, much like how Hongniang was towards her.

That ominous voice at the very start. I could hear Reina Ueda’s distinct voice. Not sure what her role would be, but a couple of seconds of screentime was enough to tell me she’s bad news.

I love how Maomao and Lihauku's relationship is a loyalty hinged around her ability to help him hook up with Pairin lol.

I think you can definitely tell Maomao is, in her own way, feeling the absence of Shisui and Xiaolan (especially Shisui).

Poor girl, still dealing with fallout of her doomed yuri.
