>>2588346I feel the same way. I kinda always had the feeling that Azusa was sort of an outsider to the other 4 even though she was in the band. Kinda of like that stereotypical tagalong kid that you'd see in action shows, the one that winds up left behind and never feels like they can catch up.
There's a number of times where the other 4 don't really seem to care whether Azusa is around or not, and this episode acts like they haven't contacted eachother all summer either. But especially the fireworks segment where Yui loses her hand in the crowd; she doesn't stop, she doesn't turn back, none of them do.
