And I love how the letterbox acts as an indicator of a change in the story’s setting—the scenes with it are set in the near future, presumably in the research headquarters after the main story takes place.

And the difference between the static letterbox (in and

And there’s also, of course, the prominent theme of similarity, imperfect mimicry, and mirrored images throughout the episode. Not just with the Double, or the demons, or the hunter, or Sui herself, but also with little things like the cracked and uncracked Dalgona umbrellas, the unfamiliar taste of “Sui’s” miso soup, the robot copy of Onigiri, the mirrored patterns in , Akane having a conversation with herself, the blonde girl saying she’d just buy a replacement for a lost plushie, the crackled music from the record player, the automated response of a festival robot, the maple leaf that falls on “Sui’s” hair which mirrors Akane’s leaf-like hair clip, the village’s name being Kagami (meaning “mirror”), the lyrics of “Kagome Kagome” (

And the drawn pattern in Sui’s diary (), besides being quite reminiscent of TSHD’s “Hikaru” (intentionally or not), is also very evocative of wood patterns, both the rings _and_ the branches, like in
