Mitsue and Yu (Yuuta) wouldn’t have become such core components of a group and all their home life problems probably would have just been a “oh we’re aware of what our teammate is going through, but there isn’t a whole lot that we can do.” Deep down all of these characters are good, and can support each other, but without Maki’s introduction to the team, there would have been no initiator and the club would still be struggling as they were in the beginning. And, overall, none of these kids have actually had any of their home life problems solved, but they are finding support within the team (even if they aren’t even a full-fledged member). By that, I mean no one actually received a solution, but they didn’t gloss over any of the situations that the kids are going through. Overall, I think this was a phenomenal episode, we got to touch upon three different characters and their own conflicts, and for the most part it doesn’t seem like any of them were shorted.
