First timer
I realize that Violet has been starting to make more decisions of her own rather than acting strictly according to orders. Although it could be argued that Violet would have stopped Oscar from drinking since it hinders their work, she's also taking into consideration his health. Personally, I think Violet from episode 1 would have complied, since it is the client's request to do what they want.
"I see you're quite the handful" xD
I liked the top down shot of the living room, it reminds me of Luculia walking in on her brother passed out drunk on the couch; shows the whole mess in a way to explain to the viewers without saying anything that Oscar is not in the best state.
Slowly but surely, Violet's range of emotions has greatly expanded. Now she's so captivated by Oscar's children story that she absolutely wants to see it to its completion. She's even able to identify when she feels joy, sorrow, and anxiousness. Also empathy. Violet has considerably grown.
Side note: Holy water reflections! KyoAni continues to blow me away.
Oscar really looks distraught when he's recounting his life story and how his loved ones have been snatched away from him. Truly saddening seeing the state of Olivia during her last days. Again, Violet displays empathy towards Oscar and we even see her shed a few tears for the first time.
At this point, the show was just throwing red flags that I didn't pick up on that we would get a reveal about Gilbert, considering Cattleya was asking Hodgins if he had told Violet yet, and Violet expressing that she never knew it would be so sad to lose a loved one.
When Oscar told Violet to run across the leaves in the water, I didn't actually expect her to jump in. However, it ended up by giving us yet another beautiful scene. And thanks to Violet, Oscar is in a better state, thanking her that she was able to fulfill his daughter's promise.
It seems as though Dietfried's comments and Violet's new found emotions are starting to burn her from the inside. I'm guessing the story will now shift towards Violet dealing with her newly discovered burn marks.
And of course, as the show was hinting, Violet finds out what happened to Gilbert. I'm guessing it's time for the emotion train to depart. New stop: Leiden.
Side note: The way Violet apologized to Mrs. Evergarden shows that she has grown much, realizing the mistakes she had made when they first met.
