"Doing what you like is freedom."
That's right, that's why the possible cosplay hobby->cosplay job plot point with Marin and that woman scouting her didn't sit well with me. Glad that went to nothing. Chekhov's gun didn't have any ammo this time, it was just a wall prop after all.
Nice to see their cosplayer friends again. I mean wow, I didn't even recognize Shinju right away. Or Marin. Love how the cosplayers protect their own. No stalker villain arc and corporate drama, only good vibes with good friends: Amane-kun did a good job nipping that in the bud by blocking the guy. I say let the Haniel incident remain a legend in the cosplay world. If Marin wanted to rise to stardom with that, she would've done it already. No, it's all just a fun hobby for her and her dress-up darling.
