This episode really provided some good insight on Minato. It seems when dealing with people, he is good at lowering people’s defenses. The problem that we see that led to his girlfriend breaking up with him was that she felt he never liked her. He really doesn’t stop her from it, which really shows he keeps his defenses up.
This carries into the episode when he notices Koyun, and she is someone we know from the first episode who pushes people away and keeps her defenses high. We can see his usual stuff doesn’t work on her, and I am curious how he responds to that.
In comparison, we have Youta who Koyun feels immensely comfortable around. Youta is a good dude, which feels genuine. He lets people see his weakness, like him hitting the pole while he is laughing, and laughs it off. This brings Koyun to think about how she is feeling, and she is finally having fun. She wants to isolate herself and have fun, but her other part aims to have fun with Youta and Miki again. I will be curious how she progresses.
