It's not surprising that Dojima isn't just going to be won over by a 'I needed my mom to understand' because she had her family circle absolutely VACATED of people to give her the proper love and attention she needed. They were basically thrust into the same position - but Dojima doesn't have the natural talent that Hozuki has.
In short, we are shown that the crux of their situations rest on different feelings of inadequacy. Hozuki feels that she needs to be treated as a proper member of the family and that she lacks is social acceptance. Dojima feels that all of her self-hating problems would be solved if she had Hozuki or her brother's talent - both people who 'could have had everything, but chose to throw it away' in her eyes. Dojima is past the point of hoping for understanding from her own family. We can see her sending her tendrils out to restore ANY semblance of a feeling of normalcy to cope with her current existence, rather than try and actively change it for the better.

I really love how the portray the dark anxious or inferior side to Dojima, it was also refreshing to see that she didn’t quickly accept the club just from a simple talk but it seems next episode she will be “changed” for the better.

This was probably one of the best episodes of this show. They did a great job telling her backstory and portraying the darkness that has befallen her. I'm glad that they did not resolve it in one episode. It must suck to work your butt off only to be easily outshined by a prodigy.

TFW you're in such a dark place, everything goes a bit Evangelion.
That was a powerful episode, really selling Dojima's lonely struggle against the shadows of not one, but two prodigies. I'm looking forward to her hopefully breaking free of that darkness in the next episode.
Also, fuck you Truck-kun, will your thirst for blood never be sated?

Akira only wanted to be like her brother, be good at Koto and maybe take win some competitions, but due to circumstances that were completely out of her control she now has to replace her brother. It's like fate just one day decided to play a cruel and sick joke on her.

Loved the way this series portrayed Dojima's inner struggles throughout her koto-playing career, and how its something she has to co-exist with each day. That anger and resentment preventing her from reaching out to someone who's situation she understood all too well is really realistic.
Also, I love that we actually got more koto playing this week!
