Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I figured we\u2019d take a walk on the wild side, and step out into the alluring darkness of Call of the Night. Though frankly, while calling this show\u2019s drama the \u201cwild side\u201d would undoubtedly flatter Nazuna, the show has in truth been pretty chaste so far, more concerned with the universal transgressive thrill of claiming adolescent independence than anything specifically ominous or vampiric. Nazuna attempts to play it cool, but she\u2019s truthfully as naive as her new companion Ko, just as nervous about romance, just as eager to play games with transceivers. The show has been closer to \u201cSkip and Loafer for Insomniacs\u201d than any sort of ominous dark fantasy, and that suits me just fine; I always enjoy spending time with well-realized and charmingly inept characters, and the bond between Nazuna and Ko already feels convincingly precious to both of them. Let\u2019s see how Ko\u2019s transceiver-bearing classmate complicates things, as we once more answer the Call of the Night!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 3<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We open right where we left off, on a profile shot of Ko\u2019s classmate asking what he\u2019s doing. This shot offers a perfect example of this show\u2019s effective use of soft focus, here softening everything except this character\u2019s lips, drawing our attention to her lips and words as sharply as she\u2019s drawing the attention of Ko himself. Soft focus is often used for this sort of trick, creating a sort of visual haze that replicates the way our minds prioritize what is most important or attention-drawing in any given moment<\/span><\/p>\n

Her name is Akira<\/span><\/p>\n

God, Ko is so bad at standing! He always stands in a weird hunch, looking like he\u2019s guilty of something and on the verge of fleeing<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We leave the scene unresolved, cutting to Nazuna asking if Ko really doesn\u2019t have any friends on a rooftop<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what point are people \u2018friends?\u2019\u201d Ko, if you have to ask that question, you probably know the answer<\/span><\/p>\n

And Nazuna answers simply \u201cwhen you think they\u2019re friends,\u201d reflecting her relatively mature obliviousness to the tiny thresholds of companionship that preoccupy Ko. When you haven\u2019t experienced intimacy with others, each new step towards another person feels consequential and momentous; when such intimacy is commonplace, it\u2019s hard to even conceive of the fine-tooth distinctions between friends and acquaintances<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it okay to assume someone is a friend?\u201d \u201cAh, right, because you have no friends.\u201d Nazuna\u2019s getting it. Only the friendless would consider something like \u201cthe imposition of assuming they\u2019re a friend\u201d to be worth worrying about – comfortably socialized people do not guard their theoretical friendship so closely<\/span><\/p>\n

See, this is what I meant about this being the most chaste vampire story imaginable<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI thought calling someone a friend when you haven\u2019t seen them for years might seem rude.\u201d Aw shit, childhood friend alert. Watch out Nazuna, you\u2019re now competing with a childhood friend<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis sad little transceiver\u2026 I think I got it because I wanted to communicate with someone.\u201d Like his feelings on romance, Ko feels out of step with his peers regarding communication, and so expresses his desire for intimacy through grand gestures like buying those transceivers. And even then, it\u2019s a sort of compartmentalized intimacy – he left the choice of his conversation partner up to chance, and ensured they\u2019d only be speaking through this mediated, ostensibly safer channel<\/span><\/p>\n

I could already see this series ending with Ko essentially \u201coutgrowing\u201d his need for Nazuna\u2019s companionship, having more effectively acclimated into a real social group<\/span><\/p>\n

Akira claims that Ko actually gave her the transceiver<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou became a lot more outgoing in sixth grade, and I lost my chance to talk to you.\u201d And Akira thinks that <\/span>Ko<\/span><\/i> is the social one, claiming he has lots of friends<\/span><\/p>\n

Apparently he accidentally left it on Akira\u2019s apartment mailbox<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was worried. Because we\u2019re friends.\u201d And she treats that theoretically consequential threshold like it\u2019s no big deal<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, Ko sees this whole situation as a dangerous misunderstanding. It\u2019s no problem, Ko! Even if it was accidental, you still expressed your genuine desire for friendship! Embrace it!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m watching some ants carry a dead insect.\u201d Ko was a loner as a kid as well, treating calls to come play with the others as an imposition<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re friends, aren\u2019t we?\u201d \u201cWell\u2026 I guess.\u201d He was one of those kids who over-intellectualizes everything, accidentally distancing himself from his peers through his preoccupation with the precise nature of the distance <\/span>between<\/span><\/i> himself and his peers. I can certainly relate, though I at least found a core group of friends to rely on<\/span><\/p>\n

Low-angle shots emphasize Ko\u2019s puncture wounds, calling his bond with Nazuna to mind as he reaches towards Akira<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently Akira is an early riser out on a 4 a.m. stroll. A similar night walker, but from the opposite direction of Ko and Nazuna<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCan we meet again, same time tomorrow?\u201d The early morning light falls across her face, framing her as an escape from the night<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou do your thing and then leave right away\u2026 so is this just a physical relationship, Ko?\u201d Though Nazuna\u2019s toying with him, her concern seems genuine. Nazuna always has to cloak her earnest anxieties in defensive phrasing like this, playing on Ko\u2019s insecurity regarding intimacy to hide her own insecurity regarding her position in his life<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She jokes that he\u2019s going to see another woman, and is shocked to realize by his reaction that this is actually the truth<\/span><\/p>\n

He passes by more drunks on the way home. Honestly, another of this show\u2019s appeals to me is its portrayal of a city that\u2019s safely walkable at night; apparently businessmen just shuffle around drunk in the early morning hours of Japan\u2019s cities, something I couldn\u2019t really imagine in the states<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDidn\u2019t she used to be more talkative and lively? I feel like she wasn\u2019t like this.\u201d It seems like Ko has no basis for comparison beyond the friendships of early childhood, and thus assumes everyone else still possesses a similar energy. But the anxieties of adolescence have a way of changing people<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI wonder, is it fun to hang out with me?\u201d \u201cIs it not fun for you, Yamori?\u201d Voicing his anxieties only gives rise to her own – no one here has it together, much as they\u2019d like to pretend<\/span><\/p>\n

And right as Ko begins to think Akira might have feelings for him, our friendly neighborhood vampire arrives<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, she\u2019s just here to embarrass him<\/span><\/p>\n

In spite of being here specifically to throw doubt regarding her relationship with Ko, she immediately gets embarrassed when Akira implies they have a romantic relationship. She is so, so bad at being the seductive temptress – every time someone actually responds to her provocations, she immediately gets flustered<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently we\u2019re not holding back on the reveal of Nazuna\u2019s nature – she immediately drinks Ko\u2019s blood in front of Akira, essentially marking her territory<\/span><\/p>\n

A clear push and pull established between Nazuna and Akira, with Nazuna flattering Ko\u2019s antisocial instincts while Akira presents a possible route towards reintegration into society<\/span><\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Akira swiftly challenges Ko on why he stopped coming to school. Nazuna is comforting because she doesn\u2019t ask anything of him, but that\u2019s not necessarily good for Ko<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ko reveals that one day he just wasn\u2019t having fun at school anymore, and could no longer be bothered to attend. Akira states she feels the same way, but that she knows she still has to go<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I was relieved to see your face, just like it was back in elementary school.\u201d Both of them yearn for the simplicity of relationships and easy happiness of childhood, before self-awareness, anxiety, and a touch of depression stole their joy and certainty away. I hate to tell you this, Ko, but that\u2019s just what life is like from now on, and hiding in the night with a vampire isn\u2019t going to fix it<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCome to school with me. It\u2019s more fun for me with you around.\u201d Damn, a direct call back to the light by Akira<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But Ko isn\u2019t ready. Rather than staying with Akira, he chases after Nazuna when she excuses herself<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHow am I supposed to know what you\u2019re angry about if you don\u2019t say anything, Nazuna-chan?\u201d Ko is definitely getting better at expressing his feelings, if only to his vampire not-girlfriend<\/span><\/p>\n

I wonder if Ko wasn\u2019t the first? If this is only the latest time Nazuna\u2019s been abandoned by an alleged night traveler the moment someone invited them back into the daylight<\/span><\/p>\n

I like that each episode has its own wordless night ramble, each with its own distinct emotional tone – this one tinged with a sort of shapeless regret, as Ko ponders what he could have done differently<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As Ko says \u201cI want to know why you\u2019re angry, and want to make up,\u201d Nazuna appears, stating \u201cour relationship warrants making up, huh?\u201d She\u2019s as insecure about this bond as he is, and so those words were crucial – an expression of their relationship\u2019s substance, of how much it means to Ko<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not angry, really. I just got ticked off.\u201d Ko is confused by this distinction, but they\u2019re distinct feelings – Nazuna is well aware her feelings of frustration aren\u2019t entirely fair, but they\u2019re still her honest emotions, and so she gave herself some time to cool off<\/span><\/p>\n

And Ko answers her core fear, stating there\u2019s no chance he\u2019d go back to school while he\u2019s working to become a vampire. And in response, she kisses away the blood in his mouth, departing as \u201cfriends\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

What a mess of a situation you\u2019ve found yourself in, Ko! In spite of your best attempts at remaining an antisocial loner, you have nonetheless acquired multiple entirely incompatible suitors, one drawing you further away from human society, the other determined to see you return. And while Ko\u2019s discovering he\u2019s actually a lot more normal than he thinks, it\u2019s becoming increasingly clear that Nazuna is the true outcast here, even putting aside her vampiric nature. Nazuna is desperate for companionship, her cool affectation a front that even the anxious, inexperienced Ko is learning to disregard. So will Nazuna\u2019s behavior towards Ko change, now that she understands he\u2019s actively choosing to spend time with her over pursuing a mundane life? I\u2019m eager to find out!<\/span><\/p>\n
