If it wouldn't have been for the episode's title, I guess, I woudln't have recognized Hozumi as a character again. So far I only saw him as a funny element, being Hirose's uncle, but dressing like a woman. This time I could see he cares about his nephew and even more important, he supports him. While Hirose, Hayami and Hotaru are involved in problems they more or less can't understand and don't have to answer for, Hozumi was part of the original events, one generation before! With episode 9 we come to the important Hotaru/Hayami decision and I have to admit I don't really care. I'm not very attached to the characters, Hirose is no man for me and I don't care wether he lives happily with Hotaru or Hayami. No matter what they are going to be in trouble with Hotaru's grandfatherd and the rest of the villagers.
