This episode introduces Rico and her story, showing how difficult and unfair the adult world can be, especially for children who are forced to carry responsibilities they should never have to face. It also touches on the dark side of government organizations, reminding us that even good institutions can have hidden problems behind the scenes.I usually don't enjoy dark stories, but I really like this anime because it feels like the creators put a lot of thought and research into the world and characters, making the story feel believable and engaging.
