I cannot relate to Kumiko in this episode and I feel like this is the first time this has happened.

I was very sure (in if I changed my mind) of what I wanted to do in my life. I always had a plan or a path that I wanted to follow when I was thinking of the career I was obsessed with at the time.

I don't know what it's like to not have an idea of what I want to do. I wake up everyday with a plan even if I don't have one. Does that make sense? Is that weird?

I want to know if you all have had a hard time deciding your path or if you have always had a plan.

The symbolism of Kumiko standing in the ligth and Mayu in the dark, is powerful about how the latter feels. The camera is another. Love the talk between Kumiko and Michie sensei. Ohhh...Nittpick. You're not ready for the finale!. All will become clear. About my goals after high school; since I was 15 I decided what was my career path, so I run towards it.

I absolutely felt a lot like Kumiko, I coasted along mostly on natural academic ability through high school (was part of a smart year so the basic standards were high enough that you couldn't really slack off) and was part of a group of students described by the teachers as 'that laid back we were horizontal'. But then I discovered guitar in a big way two years before our main exams (at 14 going on 15) and it distracted me to the extent it nearly derailed my results. I got good enough results to have plenty of options, but I was even more rudderless with end goals and in sixth form split my attentions between traditional academic subjects (maths & chemistry) and music tech whilst playing catch up as late starter on the latter. I've been through the whole university thing with you previously, long story short it didn't work out and jobs were just a way of paying the bills until I fell into my current civil service role in my mid-30s and found a slight sense of purpose almost by accident. It's not the greatest job pay-wise but it's not bad, relatively stable and I feel like I'm actually contributing to society now; unlike with some of the retail related jobs I had previously (selling people things they don't actually need and not even being reasonable compensated for the amount of work & stress involved). As Luis mentioned, there's a lot of symbolism in this episode and quite a bit of extra stuff you then pick up on repeat watches after knowing what comes later.
