Some touching moments and then more sad

We start to see a bit more affectionate interaction between now-Soon and then-Ongsa. Ongsa continues to be sad that he doesn't seem to mean as much to Soon as he hopes to. The emotional level of the episode is fairly high, and it remains easy to empathize with the characters. Then just as we see an end to the arc concerning Ongsa's insecurity about perhaps un-requited love as Soon begins to share his story with Ongsa. So any relief there might have been to his emotional turmoil is obscured by more dark clouds. The genre of the story becomes more and more clearly some sort of fable or romantic fantasy as the old DVD shop owner takes on even more of an oracular role, and as an obviously fake (Costa Rican) butterfly shows up as an emblem of OngsaSoon's love.
