This was an emotional and jaw-dropping episode. That was a shocking plot twist right at the end! The background music was a banger!

Looking back at this episode, I felt so much dislike towards Gabi and her actions here. Sasha did not deserve it, and the episode emphasized the horrors of war and losing those close to you; something often overlooked by outsiders. It felt like grieving with the soldiers.

This episode i feels like the bleak, metallic graphics of the airship feel cold. The peak moment is Gabi shooting and killing Sasha. i feels an unbearable hollow pain; Sasha deserved so much better.

This was a very intense and emotional episode. At first, the escape seemed successful, but the end was fatal. The moment was very painful because of Sasha's death.

This episode deals with the aftermath of the raid. Everyone's heading back and you can feel the tension on the airship. The mood is heavy as the reality of what they just did sets in. Gabi entering warship moment changes everything and hits super hard. Really emotional episode.

This episode was full of tension. The quiet atmosphere on the airship felt like it was not yet over. I experienced dread towards those who were left on the battlefield as the point of view changed. And I was left completely stunned and shocked by the end.

with the death of Sasha, everything feels like a rue hell, It doesn't resemble a story, but a freaking documentary. Like an unknown world's happenings. It is heartbreaking and so much of a stab, like a betrayal honestly.

If Episode 6–7 were the adrenaline rush, Episode 8 is the part where you’re sitting there like, “Wait… did we just become the villains?” It’s not as action-heavy, but it’s way more emotionally violent.
The pacing is more relaxed and slow. But it sell the episode nicely

well, i thought it would be still an action packed but it is still a worthy to watch because of some important happenings and revelation. This is also nice if you are keeping track of the series.

Quiet moments clash with sudden sharpness. The aftermath vibes hit like a slowed heartbeat tense, reflective, and chillingly atmospheric.

The aftermath hits hard emotionally. Grief spreads through the Scouts, and the consequences of the attack finally settle in.

I have no words about what happened in this episode. I just wanna say I freakin hate Gabi for what she did. It's just diabolical and really sad. Dang it, girl.
