“The Flowers of Evil” Episode 5 Recap

Under the radiant skies,
Somewhere in this festive Sunday town
That won’t let you feel even a fragment of peril,
Even at this very moment, the devil
Is luring me and the one my hands are glued to.
For under this layer of skin,
There is a fearful monster even I cannot control,
It is vigilantly waiting for a chance,
If it finds just a small crack, it will break free,
And greedily devour all the wrongdoings of this world.
(from the official episode guide)

Takao is looking forward to his date with Saeki. However, Nakamura greatly changes the meaning of the whole thing.

Takao, who is wearing Saeki’s gym clothes underneath his own, and Saeki are being followed by Nakamura. Even though he can’t entirely conceal his shaking, Takao at least manages to show his world to Saeki in the bookshop.

Takao, fighting against Nakamura’s demands, somehow makes it through the day, and he confesses to Saeki. After hearing Saeki’s answer to the sudden confession, Takao’s heart raises to the sky, only to suffer another disaster...

While laughing, Nakamura says, “I’ll make sure of everything.” What is she foreshadowing?
