one of the most emotionally resonant episodes of the whole series. Fuku breaking down under the stress of combat and running away forces the crew to confront how much they depend on her and how little they've considered what the experience is like for her. it's a surprisingly tender episode that takes a character who could easily be just a cute mascot and gives her genuine interiority. Kiriko's suggestion for an alternative approach is sweet and the resolution is warm without being saccharine. GXP at its most quietly moving.
