Rather, it seems that it’s an angle to develop Irie’s character further–since he’s decided that he’s going to be a doctor, the medical incidents serve to set that development up at the same time that they’re creating drama and tension earlier on. Other things: now that we can add “heart attack” to the list of “medical ailments used as plot devices”, and with the development in the previous episode and this one of Kotoko suggesting to Irie that he become a doctor, followed by him actually transferring to the medical school, suggest that perhaps they’re not haphazardly placed plot devices designed to create drama and tension. Maybe we’ll have epic sibling rivaly later or something. It’s an interesting development, even if it ends up being fairly useless in the long run. Given the context, it’s more likely the former, or at least a cruel prank on his part. Of course, it doesn’t have to imply that Yuuki is feeling burning puppy love for whatever reason (I expect various things happened in the six months that the first 4 minutes of this series covers, but probably it’s just because of the minor fact that she saved his life), as it may simply mean he realized the extent and honesty of Kotoko’s feelings for his brother. (Not that there’s a problem with this fantasy is fantasy and no one can really take that away from you, but I’ll be damned if they won’t try). Of course, they weren’t entirely a prank–the shot of a rather unusually pensive Yuuki after Kotoko woke up suggests things that will certainly give the stray shotacon lover fodder for a slew of fanfiction.
On the other hand, it’s now quite cool in my room, what with the new hole in the wall and all…
Yes, I, like everyone else, was pranked, and pranked hard. I would like to use the screencap comment to point out that this is exactly how I felt after the events from 10:03 to 10:12.
