I agree with Kanade. Even if she’s not doing it on purpose, Mayu’s constant “I’ll forfeit the soli”, is quite insulting. She seems to think Kumiko will not surpass her and she absolves herself of responsibility of actually forfeiting by putting the ball in Kumiko’s court. Almost like Mayu’s baiting Kumiko.

Also, it was great to see their previous senpais again. Nicely dressed up too. Yoroizuka playing the piece that caused her so much trauma in previous seasons was great to see as well.

I’m curious what Kumiko will end up doing for after high school. I’m not quite sure I understand why she doesn’t want to do music, but it’s fair enough. You can also do music outside of school of course.
