Kokoro Connect Episode 6

Looks like the rules have changed in round 2 of Heartseed’s game. This time, he’s allowing each person’s innermost thoughts to take over…I hesitate to use deepest desires to describe this because it brings up an interesting question about decision making. Think about it. Why do we make the decisions that we choose? Theoretically, you would always make the decision that you believe is in your greatest interest.

The idea of using “desire” to describe it suggests that what they’re doing is “what they truly want to do”, but I would think that you naturally make the choice to do that. So, I use “thoughts” to describe it to suggest that they are doing the things they have buried or convinced themselves not to do…not necessarily what they want to do.

But that aside, I guess I was kinda wondering what Iori and Taichi would do with their confessions out there. I suppose the only thing they could do is what we saw…choosing to ignore it for the time being. I’m sure that part of this arc is letting the confession to come to light to everyone else anyway. Iori does say something very curious, though…something to the effect of “I won’t mess up this time.” Mess up what? O.o

Very Inaba-focused ending theme…is it suggesting something about this arc? The episode seemed to suggest Inaba taking things the hardest. It would make sense for the person with no trust in everyone else to be the most worried about her secrets coming out. Maybe we’ll find out next week…

    Now the real question I have in my mind is strangely familiar. Can I rent Nagase for “2-3 hours” too? :P

      won’t Taichi beat the crap out of you?

      1. feal87 says:

        Don’t worry, Inaba will stop him and start stripping to keep him occupied.
        My plan is simply…PERFECT! O_O

        1. marthaurion says:

          I’ll be sure to bury your body…

          1. feal87 says:

            Please don’t. I tend to eat my own body when I resurrect minutes after the scene…:P

          2. marthaurion says:

            well, I shouldn’t let that happen, right? :P

          3. feal87 says:

            You EVIL MONSTER! Why would you do that?

            Don’t you see Iori is crying? :|

            *monotone voice* oh no…whatever shall I do?

    I feel like many people been focusing too much on Inaba’s not-trusting issue while ignoring the other half of her problem which is her self-loathing and a very negative self-esteem and thus the fear of hurting her friends, both of which combines and makes her completely unable to open herself to them. Just want to throw this out there.

    >> Mess up what?

    She might still be having identity crisis… maybe? Her sudden change of personality that moment seems disturbing, as she sounded… cold/emotionless?

    1. marthaurion says:

      Fair enough…I see your point. I wasn’t implying anything negative about her or anything….

      You almost make it sound like Inaba literally has multiple personalities (like psychologically distinct ones)…

        Oh sorry I was refering to Iori on that part, where you commented towards her line at the end of the episode “I can’t mess up”.

        1. marthaurion says:

          Right…my mistake as well…I meant to say Iori there
