spending a normal about of time thinking about ena inviting mafuyu into the shinonome household while it was raining (on a day where shinei was out for work so it was only shinonome mama, ena and akito) -> giving mafuyu temporary freedom away from his mother and showing him what a more normal family is like (which is why shinei being out for work is important because that family dinner would NOT have gone well. lmao)

compare this to kanade who confronts asahinamama about her treatment of mafuyu and swears to never leave mafuyu's side and continue doing music with him because kanade (who has few memories of her parents, with the few she DOES have being loving and warm) believed that asahinamama had mafuyu's best interests at heart until she noticed how cold she was. its more permenant than what ena can offer

and mizuki handing mafuyu an umbrella in the rain, letting themselves get drenched in the escape trained cards. mizuki helping mafuyu by bringing him to have fun and not think too much about the stress in his life (escapism which is also how mizuki has dealt with their own issues) the umbrella symbolism is important here because mizuki wants mafuyu to only temporarily escape and not run from the Problems cowardly like mizuki. mafuyu, who is finding salvation in niigo slowly (and i hope this comes up in the next event) and opening up vs mizuki who still refuses to tell niigo that theyre struggling

niigo's writing team has been on a roll since maigo/wish where they really found their footing and i hope the next niigo event (likely an arc ender before theyre aged up for 3rd anni) will do mafuyu and niigo justice 🥹🥹🥹
