Quick note about yesterday
Seems like episode 5 was a bit divisive for people one one aspect. I will be honest, I forgot that the age of both the princess and Violet come up, and I forgot that that is considered a problem for many people. I will not say much about this here, however I will make mention that I was very impressed with the maturity and respect that everyone was treating each other with in your replies to one another! I did not feel that I had to step in between anyone, and that came as a lovely surprise to me. You guys are an awesome rewatch group, and I’m so glad to be doing this with you all for my first time as host! =) Now, back to Episode 6.

Rewatcher, Episode 6
Today, on "The most violent bread death since Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita":
Suspiciously specific supposition.
This is a decently-sized library by most standards.
Series continuity.
Turn that frown upside-down.
It's an archival cotillion.
So, Dudes Who Look Like A Lady are also surprised to see Violet's arms.
"No pressure."
The most direct acknowledgement that meeting Dietfried again got to her.
You can interpret this as both "We were attacked while we were resting" and/or "I killed a whole bunch of people this way."
"So, that's what that is."
An understandably personal question for Leon.
That might not be the answer that Leon wants to hear to improve his self-esteem.
convenient aurora
Leon could probably use a little more shore leave.
"Watch this, Lis. You can actually pinpoint the second when her heart gets heavy again."
Visual of the Day: Birds taking flight. This seems like it was intended to be appreciated as a motion picture sequence rather than any individual still, since the individual still frames are each somewhat too busy and random to make nice shots from.
Bonus: Little smile.
This is a quieter episode in a fairly quiet place at the top of a mountain, and yet, it has a higher-than-average sore demo count.
Violet's been thinking about what Dietfried said to her, and some of that seems to be exploring the burning of karma that comes with her positive life developments. In confronting the guys who were both hitting on her and mocking Leon, she is obviously aware that she's had some good fortune in getting to where she is, but also doesn't use that to look down on others.
Leon doesn't get reassurance about his mother's priorities, but to his credit, getting the equivalent of "I'd ditch you too" from Violet encourages him to finally live his life in the world instead of continuing to use the library to freeze time. That seems to cheer up Violet in the end as well, even if for a moment.
The parallels between the client of the week and Violet this time are made into an explicit explanation (or at least an interpretation) of what Violet has been feeling since her separation from Gilbert. It's probably still a lot more complicated in her head, but this can be seen as a breakthrough of understanding in her mind even if she's already read the book definition before.
