Man, I feel bad for Freida. I don't know what to say about her situation. I'm glad we get to see her and Myne bond, and it's nice to see Myne's family again, but it's still sad and I almost teared up. I wonder what Myne is going to do!

Didn't expected that kind of lore at the first half, a harsh reality even harder if you remember they are all just children but it effectively establishes the hierarchy, on the second half I really loved the family, and from all the father reaction honestly made me sob a bit

I like this episode a lot. It highlights the best of this series has to offer, with the relationship between characters, and we also get some worldbuilding that actually was asked for. It was done nicely, I really do enjoy this series when it shifted its focus to the characters.

It was a sad start but it turns into a more positive vibes then into sadness again. The pacing is really great with the new added lore of the "fever", I mean starting from episode 10 it gets interesting. Animation still on point, it does not drop at all.

I feel like the show sidestepped MC's condition pretty quickly and jumped straight back into the merchant storyline. It came across as a little rushed, though it could be intentional given how those around her buried the topic.

The lengths commoners have to go through just to survive is genuinely bleak, Frieda's situation especially. It was a shame the episode didn't really dig into how she personally felt about it, because she clearly carried a different perspective on the whole thing.

It felt really full circle seeing everyone come together for Myne when she needed it most! Getting more of her friendship with Frieda was a highlight too; it has a totally different energy compared to her and Lutz, mostly because of how sharp Frieda is 💔
