Cid is just like me fr. The way he thinks and the way he wants to show off, but the difference is I'm weak and got nothing to show off

I suspect Cid doesn't even know what's going on with the Oriana kingdom but who the hell cares when you can just give Rose a power-up just coz it feels cool to do so

I wonder why he’s always running away from his sister. Just another oversharing ended up with Epsilon becoming a composer. Beta is having a hard time dealing with Alexia. Rose is being possessed. As expected, Shadow treated her and gave his powers. But I wonder if she’ll become a part of Shadow Garden. 

Dude, he stole the piano and went to the underground to play it. Just to cross of yet another thing from his bucket list. Damn, he met his sister and she seemed pissed.

Even though you know Cid set up that entire scene (no WAY a piano was down in that maze randomly lmao) it was still really cool. Moonlight Sonata really does a lot of heavy lifting for making a scene feel meaningful. Looks like Rose is part of Shadow Garden now, wonder if/when she'll learn the truth about Beta.

I like how he steals the piano just so he could show off and spout a bunch of nonsense at Rose.

He is right, this was a perfect set piece.

I dont think any anime I have ever watched handled the mix of comedy and seriousness better

At around 21:22 in the background that sounded like a piano version of Requiem of Silence from Re:Zero.

Ah yes, "Moonlight Sonata", one of the best piano pieces ever written. Wonder if Rose will join Shadow Garden after sovling her family problem, Cid certainly set it up like that.

@Orange4Rock Thx so much for this comment. I'm rewatching this anime right now. I was caught off guard by that piano piece and was wondering what piece it is. I remember I've heard it before. So I thought someone might comment this thing on Mal forum and voila you did. Yes! I agree, it does sounds similar to Re:Zero's Requiem of Silence. I wanna know what exactly is the piece name tho.

Edit:
Found it! Just searched for the OSTs on YT and found a channel named Tatsuke uploading whole OSTs for season 1.

It's an original track named Deep Sorrow. Same composer as Re:Zero's Requiem of Silence, Kenichiro Suehiro. So it made sense they sound somewhat similar.

This Show is just amazing. The way they implemented the piano this episode is amazing too. I hope that Rose joins the shadow garden after being gifted with power from Shadow.
@InceptAiden She wasn't given any power. It was just metaphorical.

Cid rlly is the pianist of all time...

Poor Rose got into some unwanted drama and all but at least Shadow showed a bit of support.

Waw, Oriana was given powers. Was it only temporary though? Will she get recruited to be one of the Eminence in Shadow?

If we're watching this without Cid's perspective or point of view, he really would appear as a cool and mysterious entity what with that display of playing piano in the sewers with leaves flying around and giving people powers lol

It looks like Rose had a reason to attack her fiance; He definitely did some shady stuff to control her father and the knights under her family's control. Cid appears and gives Rose a hand from Shadow curing the poison consuming her. I don't like how she changes, now it feels like she's on her redemption arc since she gained the powers to overthrow the organization lurking behind her family, she even disregarded Alexia's help after receiving power from Shadow.

I can't believe Cid actually finally investigated Oriana's situation himself all in order to avoid having to interact with his sister lol.

Bro stole a whole ass grand piano just to make a minute of a brilliant impression on Oriana just to set the moon, amusing! However, it is through this act that he could lay upon Oriana's psyche by challenging her resolve to continue. And thanks to that, Oriana just got herself a massive power boost.

Seeing Alexia be mad at the end of the episode because of being kept in the dark was PITIFUL. Here she is together with her 2 closest comrades STILL not knowing a thing. Whereas Oriana has made her resolve to continue on her lone path of salvation while Beta knows of all things going on. Alexia is like a lost child when compared to her 'comrades'.

Again, him deciding to do things is based off avoiding his sister or some other circumstance. He was going to just sit on the sidelines and admire Rose. Instead we got to see just how it works with people becoming possessed. I thought that it was something to do with the Cult of Diablos cursing them. But it looks like it is all in lineage and timing. I was also wrong in my guess that Rose did not harm Perv Asshat. But of course it was only after she realized that he was a bad guy.

One thing that I am really not getting is how Alexia can be so dense as to not recognize that when someone shows absolutely no fear of any situation, it is probably because they are must more capable and strong than they let on. Beta is going to have to do some sort of reveal or pull out of the investigation somehow if Rose isn't there. Unless she keeps stringing Alexia along with more information that goes nowhere. Each time she gives out information it always seems to lead to the people actually getting closer to the truth really quickly and not the intended consequence of slowing them down.

Lastly, wtf was up with all the white feathers. I get the magic and all that and setting the mood. But I guess, Cid wants to pull out all the stops and hit every single trope available on his bucket list.
