Arikado aims to get Ryo to write the script for the school play. It is clear he is trying to project his late brother onto Ryo. Curious what his brother is like.
I do like how Reo defends Ryo and doesn’t care about the bathhouse situation. Of course you would be upset if someone was being forced to do something for your sake. Plus the added argument of wasting Ry0’s time is big because Ryo would be useless in those meetings. I like how the story doesn’t sugarcoat that what Arikado is doing is messed up, but he knows when he is starting to push too far and can back off. It keeps the grounded feeling of the series intact.
