This sticks to the sweet change of pace as the previous episode. We pick up right where we left off, with Saten asking Febri to say anything she knows and she says Misaka Mikoto and little else.
Despite attempts by all of the group to delve for more, Febri acts much like the young girl you would expect, and attaches to Saten like glue! She also seems to be somewhat afraid of Misaka despite earnest and honest attempts to be nice to her.
Indeed that is a rather interesting bit of the mystery, to all the characters she meets in the episode, Febri instantly bonds and likes them, but she continues to fear Misaka even with no reason for it, nor does she reveal any more of why she even knows that name.
Of course despite the light hearted moments, we continue with The Evil Minions of Arrogance (that is my own name for the 6 lab techs that are just begging for exposure to the Railgun attack in my opinion). They seem to know something about the young girl and I get the feeling whatever they know it cannot be anything good.
However before that gets far we see the continued preparation for the Assembly and it is revealed to be both dull and a security headache. I suspect it is not just a backdrop but more to come for the Railgun side of the story we did not get to see so much of in Index.
During Saten's attempt to get Misaka and Febri on better terms, Misaka accidentally let's the little girl do what little girls are famous for, chasing giant Gekotas! A pursuit by the group is actually quite mundane compared to what they have dealt with before, a lost child while stressful and nerve wracking, cannot quite compare to tacking on the top Level 5 to save 10000 of your clone Sisters I am thinking.
Still, the end does have a twist in several ways that I look forward to hearing explained. And of course the Pricks in Labcoats now know Railgun is with Febri and seem to want to include her in on their as yet unexplained experiment. It sounds like things may pick up in the next episode but my nerves are liking the break from before too right now.
Given what Index did have happen there is a LONG road ahead for Misaka and company yet, and Toma should be back before long too. The ride continues on this fantastic series!
