Talk:The Ronde Without You

That damn cat
The first scene in the school is definitely there for a reason. Yuichi is looking out the window as usual, but the lesson going on sounds to be about Schrödinger's cat. It doesn't last for more than 1 or 2 seconds before we immediately cut to the lunch room. The scene is used to show Nayuki's growing concern for Yuichi - however that is a theme of the entire episode. Now I realise I can't prove my suggestion; original research is a bad thing, so I'm going to add this to trivia as plainly as I can manage. J-Kama-Ka-C 00:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

The repeat
I want to comment on the repetition in the episode. I just haven't worked out why it's there yet, heh. There are numerous similarities across the three days shown in this episode. Day #1 begins with Nayuki's recorded alarm message; Day #3 Yuichi is woken by Nayuki herself, but her lines turn out to match the clock's message. Following this, both days move to a shot of Piro eating from his bowl, then breakfast where Nayuki is eating strawberry jam toast and wide-awake (contrast to Day #2 where she is sleepy as usual).

One final doubling up in the episode is that both gifts Yuichi had given the girls are forfeited by them. That might not be related to just this episode, as Shiori also returned the sketchbook and the plush toy for Mai was unfortunate also. J-Kama-Ka-C 00:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, on a whim I found my answer right in front of me.
 * ""Although now called rondo form, the form started off in the Baroque period as the ritornello form, coming from the Latin word ritornare meaning "to return", indicating the return to the original theme or motif.""
