This episode basically focused on building up towards the climax of the series. Masane had never wanted to live so badly after realizing herself that chances are she doesn’t have much longer to live. Although by the end of the episode it felt like she had accepted her fate and wanted to make the most of her remaining time with Rihoko. If the data Takayama and Rena collected are correct, then it seems like Masane’s death in the very near future is inevitable. The writers will either somehow keep her alive or go through with killing her off. I can see good endings for both scenarios, so hopefully they won’t end up giving us a disappointing ending. I’m rooting for a happy ending, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be a sad ending.
