I will say I won’t be satisfied if it doesn’t end Shini/Hiromi.
Shinichirou spends this episode focusing on Hiromi, taking notes for her, not making much attempt to see Noe, making Hiromi laugh. The only problem is he can’t continue his writting. This is where I start worrying.
He still doesn’t get what Noe meant. My opinion is he can’t fly yet ‘cause he isn’t being honest with his feelings. He is Noe’s boyfriend at the moment,
so I think he just has to deal with Noe and get on with Hiromi so that Raigomaru can fly. I mean, I seriously doubt he likes Noe more than Hiromi, she has been his first and only love for ages, and now that they can be together, it would be so silly to split them up.
I never thought Nobuse would actually talk with Noe. I think this would make a great story, them being together. Why not? They are both heartbroken.
But, who knows, maybe Aiko will suddenly discover deep feelings for Nobuse, since she “graduated” from Shinichirou.

After the dance, Hiromi goes to Shini’s room and he has this BIG smile in his face.Nice. Then, more of Raigomaru.
If what I think it’s correct, only when he and Hiromi become a couple or at least when he tells her how he feels will Raigomaru fly.
He even felt like “giving up” when knowing about Hiromi moving. He says “I even involve everyone and hurt everyone”…more “I used Noe” theory.

Ahh, I get it now, the reason why Hiromi is moving is because Noe is with Shinichirou and it will pain her. And she, at last, tells him. But she doesn’t wait for Shini to reply and leaves.

And then we have this awesome scene, GREAT music/animation-wise, and the dialogue, especially. Aww I love Shini. I love Shini/Hiromi.

Now, the preview…Noe being UBER SAD, Hiromi trying to break up again with Jun, IMO. Let’s hope for our Shini/Hiromi ending anyway.
