Little Busters - ep04

Things start off with an introduction of another new character name Kudo, but the episode isn't center on the new character like the previous two episodes. In the end beyond getting a little bit about her character there is no really great involvement with her at this moment. Thing then progress toward Riki meeting up with Rin, where it seems that she was waiting for another message from one of her cats. However she finds the someone put a bandage on one of them and wants Riki help to find the person that did so that she can thank them.

Riki finds a clue towards this end after class, when Haruka is having another fight with Masato when he notice her finger. The band-aid that was on her figure was the same one that was on the cat earlier. Although it turns out that it was given to her by Komari, and after Kurugaya tells him that she was caring a bag of snack off somewhere. This give Riki a good idea where she would be headed. Once up on the roof he finds her asleep where he though she would be. Once she wakes up she goes into telling him about a dream she always has about her brother reading her a book, but the strange thing is that she is an only child. Thing end with him giving Komari Rin's gift for thank her cats, and he agree to bring Rin with him next time.

Then next day she brings the book with her that she was talking about yesterday with Riki. Then after showing the book to Riki and Rin, Komari question the fact on why she can't meet the person she remembers in her dream. Since the book exists, it seem to reason the the dream itself should be based on reality. That the brother she dreams should be real too. Then for some reason this leads her to go off topic and bring up visiting a retirement home. This ends with Riki and Rin agreeing to go along with her since they are friends now.

However the next day when they are going to go to the retirement home thing quickly spiraling out of control leading to everyone else of the Little Busters coming along for the ride. Where once there everyone splits up to help out, so by brightening up the residents day others by cleaning various rooms. This lead to an interesting development with Riki where he runs into a grumpy old man that wants nothing to do with anyone. However he is unsuccessful in driving Riki away, and lets him do what he wants. After he leaves Komari is surprised to see him exiting that room, and when she follow Riki advice she tries to interact with the old man. Although it ends poorly, resulting in her runaway. Then when Riki confronts him about what he did, this when he discover that the old man is the writer of Komari's book and is probably the brother that she remembers in her dream but if that is true why is he so old.
