It’s a perfect example of how a conclusion can be so heavily foreshadowed, while also remaining completely unnoticeable. There were many hints, the absolute biggest of which being when Koyomi tried to hand her the paper with Mayoi’s address and she refused to take it.Īnyone who is a fan of mystery stories, pay close attention to Hitagi in this episode. Hitagi’s reactions tell the entire story though, as she begins asking Koyomi many questions as to what he is doing, where he is going… when he reacts to being rejected by Mayoi, she expresses outright confusion as to what he is trying to do. Which I most definitely did the first time I watched Mayoi Snail, and I’m sure you all did too. It’s something that is very well done, because unless you were to study Hitagi’s behaviour after Koyomi spots Mayoi, you would miss it. This ends up resulting in a fight, which Koyomi wins, because he is a high schooler.Īfter this Hitagi approaches, and because she used to live in the area, Koyomi enlists her help in guiding Mayoi to the address she is looking for. Koyomi approaches and is shut down by her twice, and then, because he insists on helping her, Koyomi hits her to get her attention. The two spend more time together at the park, until Koyomi notices the elementary school girl once again looking at the neighbourhood map. And as Araragi is a bit of a delinquent, he didn’t feel comfortable spending the day at home with his family – so he snuck out, only to get caught by his younger sister Karen, resulting in a quarrel. She also presses him as to what is troubling him – why is he alone at Namishiro Park on a Sunday? The reason is. And then Hitagi shows up.Īfter much teasing, Hitagi offers up one favour to Koyomi – anything he wants, in return for his help earlier. He spots an elementary school girl for a brief moment, before she leaves. The day is Sunday, May 14th – Mother’s Day. Koyomi Araragi sits alone at Namishiro Park.
