Plot twist! There’s a familiar newbie who’s taken Hachi’s place in the Debris Section 🤯 This is surely gonna cause some friction and drama 😖 On the flip side, Hachi himself is facing a tense life-or-death challenge to prove himself worthy of the Von Braun. Overall a cool ep.

Episode Context

Coming off the pivotal 'Endings Are Always...' in episode 19, where major decisions reshaped character trajectories, 'Tentative Steps' functions as a crucial bridge episode, deepening the consequences of those choices while ratcheting up psychological stakes. With only six episodes remaining, the series is tightening its threads around Hachimaki's Jupiter ambition and the fracturing bonds within the Debris Section. This episode lays essential groundwork for 'Tandem Mirror' and the intense final stretch ahead.
