There used to be a section of the episode where Asuka opened up about her
mother and described her as crazy, possessive and hysterical. These are words
with strong adverse connotations and yet Asuka uttered them in a nonchalant
and chilly manner. She even rationalized that she didn’t hate her, as if inserting
on a façade. Fittingly her dialogue used to be shot as an fast overhead shot. This
kind of shot tends to be flat and minimizes standpoint lines. This visible,
relying on context, can feel chilly, sterile and unengaging. The coldness and sterility
of this visible captured her tone and demeanor. The unengaging flatness accentuated
the sense of disconnect introduced by her façade.

| Overhead shot |
Kumiko noticed thru this façade and didn’t mince words. She
exact away insinuated that Asuka in fact hates her mother regardless of her soundless
and carefree demeanor. The façade used to be broken as mirrored by the drastic transition
from the unengaging overhead shot to the extra emotionally keen close-up and
vulgar close-ups.
