    It's as you say. But maybe Aqua chose to believe for now because he needs a pause and get rid of the weight he's been carrying for so long, even if for a short time.
    We know Aqua is smart and even if he tries to forget and move on, learning they plan a trip to Miyazaki right after that scene tells us the audience shit is going to hit the fan (maybe a pun in there hahaha)
    And we even get several reminders of the sinister imoortance of that place, last scene included.

    Cheap writing:
    His former body was used by his biological father for his false double suicide with Himeka's mother...

    People disappear all the time. Many are presumed dead, though no body is ever found. Sometimes a body is found many years later by pure coincidence or due to new information surfacing, even a murderer confessing near their natural death of old age. The Japanese police isn't exactly near the top in skills, procedures, or techniques, so I doubt there was much effort to find the corpse in the first place.

    That composer was just horny, come on Pregnant Ai-chan 2.0 in the making!!!

    Anyway, not sure why you'd be disappointed in Aqua. He was sure the villain was his biological father. That father is confirmed dead. When he found out, all the tension suddenly fleed him. I understand that. Imagine you've been learning for an important test, only to find out the day before the test that everyone passes automatically due to some new rule. You'd lose all the built-up stress from one to the other moment.

    That said, I don't believe it's that simple either. My first thought was that the half-brother himself is the evil guy or at least part of it. First of all, we don't know if he's even telling the truth. Secondly, he said he hated his father. That's a pretty severe thing to say for someone who just slept around with women and wasn't successful at his job. Considering that Himewaka has been portrayed as pretty smart, too, I can see him being the bad guy. Setting up the murder of Ai-chan who, in his eyes, caused his parents' double suicide. Or maybe he caused the double suicide, too, because his parents' relationship was made miserable by the dad's affair with Ai-chan and he did a tabula rasa on all of them.

    Fucking hate the new, grey haired girl. Pls don't let her be a reincarnation of Ai-chan, sigh.

    I've never been a paranoid person, per se, but even back when I was in high school, I wouldn't have believed that unless I got the info from an official source. Even if my best friend had told me that, I wouldn't have believed it just like that. I wouldn't have thought the friend was lying, I'd have merely thought he fell victim to rumours. If it was some random person I had interacted with rather minimally, yeah, right, no chance. Forget about easily believing such a thing later in my life, which would be the case for Aqua, who's accumulating life experience from a second life already. And what's my life experience compared to Aqua's? The dude was first murdered and then he witnessed his (second) mother get brutally murdered.

    He would have been less than ten years old when Ai died. In the most mellow scenario, I reckon he just doesn't care that much. Why would he? He's not looking for a murderer and he never liked his father. The supposed double suicide wouldn't have affected him overly much. In a more severe scenario he knows much more than he's telling, maybe to the point of if not knowing, at least suspecting it was not a double suicide but a murder. In the worst scenario he's actually cooperating with the murderer to some degree and also knows the man who died in the double suicide (murder) wasn't even his real father, just a sacrificial dummy. So, in the worst scenario he would be wilfully lying to Aqua and protecting the real father/murderer.

    did not expect that!

    also, i think it's the first time in a while they showed us the manager/agent, even if it was just a imagination of him.

    sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
    Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.

    You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.

    It seems pretty obvious that the guy who died in the double suicide wasn't their real father. Just some patsy probably set up by their real father.

    The real father banged Ai and Himekawa's mum. Himekawa's mum and then-partner committed suicide potentially out of guilt or whatever over this affair. That's what I had in my mind. But either way, this ain't over. The real dad who is responsible for this is still out there.

    What they didn't cover is whether Aqua's acting got better or worse after he let go of all this. Presumably his whole "I am hurt because I can't like acting" thing just falls away.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    But why would Himekawa hate his "not real"-dad, but not the psycho-murder-instigator dad? Ok, maybe he never knew him.But then I wonder how Aqua will get any hint that that "not real"-dad is ... duh, not real. Only older person close enough to Aqua that might know something is the director that Aqua is friends with. "Ya know, kid, it was an industry secret, but that wasn't Himekawa's real father". Possibly even not his real mother, lol. A perfect mirror of Aqua's and Ruby's situation who also told the public that stranger people are their parents.

    Luckily we don't know how Aqua will figure it out. I just hope he will realise already in the next episode that simply believing what his half-brother said, a half-brother he doesn't really know to any degree at all, might not necessarily be true. I'd prefer that way to some grand scene where somebody else will say it to him, in any manner, opening his eyes. After all, it would be nice if he had his own wits, despite this momentary lapse. Though I suppose I could accept Aqua getting the general hint from a detective story. The Japanese police is infamous for being incompetent, but they must still have detective stories.

    Maybe someone hits on Ruby, sends her a sketchy letter, and that triggers Aqua to realize: The pig that keeps impregnating starlets is still out there and his new target is Ruby. Or something else, lol.

    I wondered that too.

    But Aqua is also great at mimicking performances. So maybe he could just copy his own.

    How the hell would he know his real dad is a psycho-murder-instigator? He probably doesn't even know "not real"-dad isn't his dad.

    It's not like he goes arount DNA testing people like nutbar Aqua.

    By getting some old DNA material from the dad would have been my thought. Not something you'd commonly have lying around, but that would be the gold standard.

    I was actually surprised given how "serious" Aqua is about this, that he didn't ask Himekawa about whether or not his dad left any hair or DNA behind etc to confirm if that dad was biologically Himekawa's father.

    I suppose you could have some old family friend pop up and say "Actually your mother was already pregnant before she met your dad" to Himekawa.

    I forgot to mention that I approve of Kana going out and buying a Herman Miller chair as soon as it was tax deductible. I respect that, even if the Aeron is actually not very comfortable for me.

    It's true that in Himekawa's shoes, I wonder how I would react if someone I work with on a project comes to me with DNA tests and tells me we are half siblings.
    What he said and his reactions might not mean much at this point...

    And another thing to consider:

    So Himekawa's parents died in some crazy double-suicide. I wouldn't be too surprised to find out that Himekawa is in pretty much the same situation as Aqua, maybe even reincarnated, and trying to solve the truth behind the double-suicide, assuming that he has reason to doubt it being a true suicide.
