Keep in mind that when Gorou tells Sarina that he'll reconsider when she's 16 that he knows that she won't live until 16. Being a terminally ill child whose essentially been abandoned by her parents, Sarina doesn't have much hope for anything. Knowing her pain, Gorou doesn't reject her advances outright, since he doesn't want to crush what little hope she may have left in life, even if it's a puppy crush of a little girl
It's not that he knows she won't live to 16, he likely hoped that promise can empower her to live longer, and he only said he'd consider it. So, he knows how to be a dirty adult back then.
@@Jakovdred No my dear, she wouldn't last until she was 16, the anime just made it go by faster, in the manga it makes it clear that not only would she not last any longer but the hospital, being in the countryside, wouldn't have the capacity to treat her for that long.
Gorou's "I'll consider it when you turn 16" line was a bit of a companion piece to his "why don't you become an idol when you get out of the hospital?" line; he was saying the nicest things he could think of to a girl they both knew wouldn't live long enough to do either of those things. Now, if you wanna accuse Gorou/Aqua of being weird, his feelings for *Ai* would be the ticket...!
His feelings for Ai are complex, but they are understandable and this episode should serve precisely for that, he never managed to have a mother, and for that reason he never managed to see Ai as one, because he could not absorb that feeling. Like a curse, he always blamed himself for being born at the cost of his own mother's life, and then in the next life, and at the cost of a wish, his second mother also left. And what was left for him? Miyako, who he never manages to address her with the word "Mother" (he only recently managed to do so in the Manga).
Not certain why the language was changed a bit, but the bit about Ai giving birth to soulless children, in the manga it was Ai's children were supposed to be stillborn until Gorou and Sarina were reincarnated into the twins.

No. The dialog is exactly the same in the manga.
You are just seeing two different translations.
Technically it's the same thing.
In episode 1, there's a brief shot of the stalker walking up to Gorou as he's dying, so it's seems likely that the stalker hid his body.
It’s absolutely mind boggling how much of story telling and literature is about the orphan/s going all the way back to antiquity.
Yes! I knew I wasnt the only one who caught that Akane was taking pictures of Kana's face near the statue.
"This author has sadistic tendencies!"
Yeah that's Aka alright 😂
The reflection was Aqua and Ruby because Sarina was talking about her being reborn
