The Window on an Early Afternoon |
[Episode Screencaps] |
This episode focuses on a married woman who accidentally sees a neighbor committing adultery. This is not immediately shown to the viewer leaving them guessing what it was she saw until it is revealed near the end.
The daughter of the women being bullied knows that something is wrong but does know why and the extent to what is happening. The scene when a man is sent round to have sex with the mother is very scarily done with him kicking at the door in broad daylight to force entry. With the family members being harassed and her being raped she feels helpless and attempts to kill herself being saved at the last moment by her daughter.
After he mother tells her who is responsible she submits her request to the website seeking revenge. After being given the doll what follows is unusual, wishing to know what happened with her mother Enma Ai takes her into a flashback witnessing what her mother saw threw the window.
Following that she sees the assault and rape of her mother with the woman Todaka-san taking photographs to blackmail her into not revealing the adultery. This is far more sexually graphic than most other episodes and this trend continues during Todaka’s stalking. The girl finally pulls the string when she sees her father beating her mother knowing that her family has been destroyed by Todaka, making for a quite a sad scene I thought.
Ichimoko Ren assisting in the stalking now visits Todaka-san and after some light fan service scenes where you see him topless her husband arrives home surprising her. They do not seem to ask her to seek forgiveness at all. Instead having her show her perverted nature then humiliating her being found out as a adulterer and surrounded by a crowd watching her in her underwear and her daughter crying.
There is again some more fan service at the end with the girl in the shower looking at the black mark on her chest providing a naked view from behind. Enma Ai's extra actions in this episode of showing the past as well as various comments guiding the girl to her revenge helped show a little more of the character. However her character was still as cold and devoid of emotion as usual.
