Yeah. I really like to see some of the tension come back between Reiji and Aoki. Maybe Rin seeing that Reiji wants her only as a replacement in his bed not necessarily in his heart. You have feel like Reiji only wants her like an athlete wants a trophy, and I don't think he has a real love or desire for her past a physical one. I really wander some times if there would not be another woman showing up looking for Reiji, maybe a girlfriend from before? Or even maybe somebody would knows this story a little more in depth. Revealing his history of selfishness and lack of compassion for others' feelings. It pretty clear after 35.5 that the previous telling of the Reiji-Aki relationship was mostly Reiji's view. It is clear to me that Aki found her self in the position of give Reiji physical love than the emotional support and a drive to go off on his own. Her own desire were not being fulfilled. You have to ask how long would things have lasted if she had not died. Could we see the first steps of Aoki toward Rin as more than her friend. Realizing she must be shown clearly that she has the final say in her own life.
