Quieter episode this time, focused more on character growth than action. Mui's struggle to fit in with her classmates felt real, not like filler. The moment where Ficelle understands why she was able to stick with swordsmanship was honestly the best part of the episode — small but genuinely touching. Beryl's still doing his usual thing, holding everything together in the background without ever stealing the spotlight, which is basically the whole charm of this show. Pacing was a bit slow, but it paid off for character development.
