Oh Mako.
I love that this is her refrain through the episode. And then she doesn’t follow it.
Every version of Mako is just so ready to trust and love people, so she barrels in over her head and gets hurt. It happened with senpai, it happens here with Motoki. Mako is so gentle and concerned about others, but she’s not careful wither herself. She’ll jump in front of cars to save a girl. She’ll throw caution to the wind for a boy who seems to maybe like her.
I’m really excited to see her growth in these terms. I don’t think she’ll ever stop entirely, because it’s so inherent to what makes her the Mako we know and love, but with the others there to help and support her, hopefully there’ll slowly be a little more caution before falling so hard and a lot less heartbreak.
