The character arcs hit different when you've watched these girls grow across seasons, Aine and Aoi aren't starting over, they're becoming who they were always meant to be. Hibiki's introduction crashes into their momentum like a question neither of them knew how to ask. The stage visuals radiate harder than the actual plot machinery, but that's fine because you're here for the girls, not the mystery, and the show knows exactly what it owes to them.
