The scene with Haiji, Kakeru, and Hana at nighttime that confused you guys is a Japanese literature joke. Haiji asks Kakeru if he has a girlfriend, and then after Kakeru gets flustered, continues on cryptically, saying something like "The night sky looks so beautiful." This is a reference to a famous story in which a novelist/teacher named Natsume Souseki heard one of his students translate the sentence, "I love you," in a very awkward, direct way. However, Japanese people are generally not very direct, and he said that a better translation would be something like, "The moon is beautiful, isn't it?" This story may or may not be true (it's really folklore at this point), but it's famous enough that it's a well-known reference that most Japanese people will catch. The moon here was swapped out for night sky, but the idea still holds. Pretty fitting in my opinion that Haiji is the one to make this joke since he's a literature student. This is also what Musa is referencing in the bath scene where he's "caught the moon in his hands." It's been established that Musa, though he's a foreign exchange student, is one of the smarter characters in the cast, so I can see him also knowing this reference and using it to have an inside joke with himself, leaving Kakeru oblivious. I'll leave that vague though since you'll learn what Musa was talking about in future episodes, though you can certainly infer a lot from the moon reference.

wow, I wasn't expecting the hot "abolish high school" takes. idealistically I'd say hey, give schools more money and resources and maybe they could meaningfully act to improve their environment, as opposed to making them non-compulsory or getting rid of them entirely. but I guess either option isn't going to happen so we're stuck with what we have, huh :-/ also i'll need a compilation of all the times lindsay says "it's SO good" or "it's so wholesome" because yes, it is :')
