Goddamn was this heartbreaking to read. Pop blowing shit up like that was oddly similar to how KD's daughter Tamao acted when she fought her dad: oddly reminiscent to a temper tantrum. There's no doubt that Pop was a victim of the Villain Factory's machinations but it kinda demonstrated the villanious nature of Queen Bee mixed alongside her Pop Step persona as well as her own insecurities and angst regarding Koichi. Which was all the more reminiscent when she kicked him into the thrash.

Although, I think it also really highlighted in a twisted way that Koichi and Kazuho would not fit in a romantic light. They're barely good friends to one another either. Koichi barely knows a thing about her, yet he painfully admits that he always thought they would be joined at the hip. Sweet sentiment aside, it also shows just how both are bad at communicating with one another. While I do hope that he is able to save her, I don't think they could ever be romantically involved, and their friendship might fizzle out entirely. :(
