An emotional and heavy episode. Orga can't seem to move on from what had happened, while Mika continues to push him forward. The slower pace works well after everything that just happened, as everyone needs some time to process it all and cool down. Be sure to watch this one if you want a little breather before what's shaping up to be something big in the next episode!

This episode is a heavy, emotional breather that shows how the marginalized aren't even allowed the privilege of grieving. The system keeps grinding, and the kids have to keep moving just to survive. Incredibly somber pacing.

Episode Context

Positioned at episode 22 of 25, 'Not Yet Home' follows the punishing Gjallarhorn engagement in 'To the Place of Return' and functions as a critical decompression point before the final stretch to Edmonton. It deepens the emotional stakes for Orga, Mikazuki, and the broader crew, ensuring the audience is invested in what's at risk heading into the season's climactic episodes. The groundwork laid here, thematically around perseverance, leadership, and fatigue, directly feeds the intensity of the three remaining episodes.
