I read that he tries to hide the past of rage and pain by keeping a positive and gentle facade when around others. Perhaps the numerous doors that Aoba had to go through when he tried to enter Koujaku's mind are representative of the walls Koujaku built up around is past.

Not even private conversations are withheld from the people constantly monitoring the city. It's sinister and very creepy, and it seems like one of those places where you're constantly being watched. Once you get in, you're transfixed by all the wonders of the area and you'll never leave, perhaps fallen to the drug clubs or just the bright city lights.

Platinum Jail reminds me of the lair of the lotus-eaters in Greek mythology. I'm not sure what would have motivated people to enter Platinum Jail solely based on its name- is there some deeper meaning that I'm not catching here? Does it, perhaps, refer to the status of the people jailed within its enclosures, seeing as they seem very urbane and wealthy? I suppose it's a jail to allow for experiments on these platinum people, if we're going to go with that thought, kind of like one massive testing center. So dreams and hopes are concealed in an elite 'jail', it seems. Nonetheless, I do have a few things to say about this episode. Unh, I really don't want to drop this anime, but I really, really am confused and it's not living up to the expectations I had, especially because it has a terribly confusing plot which is probably better explained in the game but just a complete mess in the anime, and the art quality isn't really what I expected from this.
