In this episode, the audience gets a glimpse into the daily lives and family backgrounds of the main characters, Ganta and Isaki. The episode focuses on the interactions and personal moments of the characters rather than major plot developments.
The episode begins with Ganta at home, showcasing aspects of his domestic life. It is shown that Ganta is independent and does not rely on his father for various reasons. Although the episode does not provide definitive information about Ganta’s mother, it is evident that her absence has influenced Ganta’s relationship with his father. Ganta’s father, portrayed as guilt-ridden, tries to compensate for this by occasionally buying gifts for Ganta, such as the camera.
The scene then shifts to a beach where Isaki spends time with her friends. In a brief dialogue between Isaki and her friend, it is revealed that Isaki wanted to go to the beach with her boyfriend. Additionally, a subtle detail is unveiled as Isaki puts on her swimsuit—the surgical scars on her body, hinting at her past.
The episode continues to depict the characters’ everyday lives and the growing closeness between Ganta and Isaki. In one of the scenes, Isaki playfully mentions the possibility of being approached by someone at the beach. This conversation does not lead to jealousy or tension but rather to a lighthearted moment where the two characters laugh together.
