Up to now, we've only had fleeting glimpses into Miyu's background. In this episode, we finally get to find out who her mysterious and silent servant is, and where he came from. This episode also expounds further on a theme which is prevalent thorughout the series -- the negative aspects of denying the truth, and living a lie. I thought that this was the weakest of the four episodes in the OAV series; it's fascinating nevertheless. We get a better understanding of the moral limitations in which Miyu operates, and that she does not get involved in human affairs indescriminately. Once again, superior music and direction will captivate you right to the inevitable tragic end. - AN

This episode gives us further insight into Miyu's character and background. Who was she? More importantly however, who is this Shinma who claims to have been Larva's friend? The story is again well written with a decent plot of mystery and discovery and we see Himiko's character start to change (slightly) in attitude towards Miyu. Once again the background music is excellent. There is a minor consistency problem in this episode with respect to the Shinma's name. It starts out as Lemures and changes to Lemuria. (Note: In the manga, Lemures was Larva's very close friend and had a twin brother named Lemunia). - JYN
