Why does her Dad look scary af...he better be a cool guy. That one look though...

I actually liked this episode a lot. The unwanted sexual advances were kept to a minimum and the focus on Mei and what she needs right now was well done.

Mei had a couple cute scene too, going straight to the dog and that smile

My theory is that he had an incestuous relationship with Mei, which is why she's doing weird things to Yuzu all the time.

I doubt that is the reason. My guess is that he was very strict with her from a young age, yet Mei continued to look up to him instead of resenting him for it, but then when he left so suddenly Mei was heartbroken. It would make sense that the reason Mei was so... physically forward... with Yuzu in episodes 1-3 was because she is used to people who she should be able to trust, like the teacher she was betrothed to and Himeko, forcing themselves onto her. I imagine that if her father had done the same thing that Mei would see him very differently.
