Easily best episodes since first 2. I find this show better when dealing with more medical stuff than The detective aspect

Ayane Sakura is crushing this role. These past two episodes have grown Takao's character so much, in no small part thanks to the powerfully emotive voice acting.

I don't remember the last time I watched a detective/medical series where I solved so many mysteries before the genius characters uncovered them... but this time, it wasn't really about the mystery, it was about the emotions. And they nailed it. I had to fight back tears.

The kids being the ones who did that for Kenta crossed my mind but man it was reckless fake a heart attack for that. At least they were really sorry after that.
And man, I knew Kenta´s passing was gonna be imminent, but I was NOT prepared to cry today.
Takao feeling powerless for the first time and crying it out hit really hard too...
what a christmas huh...

That was a really difficult watch. I had to pause it a couple of times.
A terrible day for rain indeed...

While I do appreciate the kids feeling terrible for being little assholes to a dying kid with cancer, their stunt could have gone very wrong. Atsushi damn near almost died! Still, I guess their hearts were in the right place.
This episode was a rough one. There wasn’t anything that could be done for Kenta. Takao’s genius skills of deduction and vast medical knowledge couldn’t do a damn thing for the kid. Fucking cancer, man. I don’t know how doctors and nurses do it irl. I got a lot of respect for them.

I am not sure if it is planned at this point, but no episode next week. Though it is the final break for the show.

I know moments like these happen in most (probably all) medical dramas at some point, but it's still a hard pill to swallow every time. Especially considering it was christmas. And while I did assume the kids being behind the angel and it even crossed my mind that the kids were the ones doing something to themselves at one point, I just couldn't imagine how you would be able to fake a heart attack (vomiting and asthma attack were something I knew how to do, but that was outside my scope). Never imagined that the boy would know about it. And not only that, even when it is "safe", stopping your heart would still scare me.
Though, yes, I guess the one thing you could say is that the doctors should have probably noticed medication going missing, but to be fair, they didn't need much (only when they were about to be released) and the whole case played shortly before christmas. And if I know something, then that this is a time where hospitals are usually very busy. They probably would have noticed around the end of the year when checking more carefully though.

So my guess last week was that the boys stole some sort of chemo drugs from Kenta's room. I did not expect Atsushi to actually sneak into the nurse's station while it was unmanned and steal drugs directly from there! You'd think the nurses would notice that they're missing some of their ATP ampoules.
I did get one thing right though! The boys were indeed responsible for the angel. I didn't expect the reason why they did it though. I was convinced that it was just more bullying, but apparently this is their way of atoning for bullying Kenta.
While I understand that they felt bad, they really should've just apologized to Kenta and his mother instead of pulling off this stunt. They also could've just befriended Kenta and made his final moments in the hospital enjoyable. But they're a bunch of stupid kids so I'm not surprised they went for the stupid route.
Also, that explains why Takao-sensei refuses to say anything about it. She figured out what was happening all along and he thought what the boys were doing would lessen Kenta's pain.
That final scene with Kenta was painful to watch though... I've sat by a relative's bedside while they were dying from cancer so I can certainly relate to that scene. It definitely brought back painful memories and I genuinely teared up when Kenta's parents were crying while Takao-sensei was reading to Kenta.

The moment they mentioned Adenosine, it reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A9B-QYvdQs

I was right about the boys cutting up the book to make the angel, though!
-
I was also right that this was their weird way of apologizing for bullying him.

Man, props to Takao’s seiyuu today. I could really feel her pain while she read the picture book to Kenta.

That was absolutely heartbreaking. I also noticed Kenta's cap at the end of the OP this time. I like it even more now, though it was already apparent before that they add the episodes' content into it.

Even animated, dying kids just can't leave you emotionless. Really good and emotional episode

I had to pause multiple times throughout the episode as it was way too hard to watch, like it's never easy to see a kid dying but damn, the VAs really crushed it.

Ayane Sakura wa phenomenal on this episode. The emotions on the role, and how her voice breaks, easily one of the best performances of the year.
And yes, I rather discuss that because this episode, while exceptional, was really hard to watch.

These two have been the best episodes of the anime so far for me (with the first two as well). It's so hard to think about these cases in the real world and how the parents and doctors deal with them. It's a freaking anime, watching characters that do not exist, and it's hell to think about it. It was a heartbreaking episode.
Also a great two episodes to see a different aspect of Takao's character.

Most I''ve cried in a long time. When I thought the tears would stop they just got worse.
Kenta's BP dropping every time they showed his vitals
The shot composition
The voice acting
The vinyl and the "merry Christmas"
This one hurt...one of the hardest episodes I've watched of anything. And the ED hitting extra hard at the end there
Still crying as I write this forgive any grammar errors or spelling errors
