We take a break from space while Hachi visits home on Earth with some work buddies 😳 This ep’s another one that develops the characters in a very realistic way. I like that the romance is blooming too 🥰 Very grounded episode with a familial and "love and loss" theme.

Episode Context

Episode 13 marks the exact halfway point and arrives in the aftermath of the Toy Box's destruction in the previous episode, grounding the Debris Section crew on Earth and forcing them to reckon with their personal lives rather than their professional ones. This transitional installment bridges the gap between the show's first-half episodic structure and its more plot-driven second half. The next episode, 'Turning Point,' introduces a new ship and signals a return to space, making this the calm before the series escalates in ambition and stakes.
