This was certainly interesting. I didn't think that guy would be Rei's actual brother so much as a theoretical brother. I was under the impression that Rei's mother might be a mistress and so she's the outcast of the family? Who knows.

In addition, we need more scenes with Nanako's "brother".

The cigarette scene was super weird. I just wish it hadn't really been there because I don't really think it helped to drive the point home so much as distract from it. Nanako confessing her love so boldly was a surprise though. I'm really interested to see how Saint-Just reacts to it.
