Whoa, this was such a lovely episode! Stories about the mothers and fathers of characters have always been excellent, and Kaze no Shoujo Emily makes no exception to this. The current episode was mostly about Emily’s mother, and it couldn’t have been better executed. It’s been a really heart-warming episode. 🙂 But first, the episode starts with Teddy, and probably gives us a few small hints of what’s to come in the future episodes. His mother continues to worry about him, and even comes to pick him up when he’s fishing, along with Emily and Ilse. Especially Ilse is getting more and more worried about this. Anyway, I believe that Elizabeth has been really lucky to meet someone who has so many differences, but just as much similarity in morals and views. This episode really shows that, when it introduces Juliet, Emily’s mother. It seems that she has had a weak health since she was born, and was frequently forced to rest for long whiles. Elizabeth was really different back then, and she genuinely worried about her sister. The problem came, though, when she met Emily’s father: Elizabeth didn’t approve of this. I think she didn’t find the guy trustworthy enough, and something tells me that she had been clinging to Juliet for a bit too long, so that she didn’t want to hand her over to someone else. Ever since she left, Elizabeth had closed off her room and didn’t open it for ten years. For these ten years, all went well, and she was able to forget about it a bit. That is, until Emily came to live with her. This forced her to stop running away from her memories with Juliet, as Emily would obviously want to see the room that her mother used to live in. When she finally opened the door, after all these years, I think that both her and Emily both got healed a bit. They really form the perfect team together, and I nearly cried when Emily saw a picture of her mother on the fireplace. The two of them really look alike! Please, Kaze no Shoujo Emily, give us more awesomeness. :)]]>
That last part of the episode certainly brought me to tears… *sniff sniff* This was such a great episode~ ;____; it’s great to see how Elizabeth was finally able to open up to Emily, and accept what happened in the past… I guess she can now fully embrace these thoughts about Juliet, as well as Emily 🙂
