But Touko is struggling with the legacy of her deceased older sister and escaping her shadow (self imposed as it is) and Yuu is suddenly having feelings and sensations she's never had before. Although she wanted to elicit a "psychological response" in viewers, Ōshima did not want to project an overwhelming "gloomy" mood.
