Such a heartfelt episode. It has a very somber tone throughout, yet hope was not too far off. Luis was a perfect foil for Kotarou, even if it we all wished there was another way to help Kotarou grow. At least some good came out of the tragedy that had befallen the region Kotarou was stationed at. The starry night sky sure was beautiful to look at, I loved the new setting as well the world building in this anime, the different environment set it apart from the metropolitan cities of Japan we have grown accustomed to.
