Not gonna lie, the first half got me. My heart literally dropped during that narrative scene, LOL! But then, I noticed that the episode hadn't ended yet, so I steeled myself for the continuation. Good thing I did! That said, I just love this episode so much. Too many memories in one episode, man. It doesn't give you anything to nitpick at all. To say that this final episode is perfect isn't really an exaggeration. On another note, Sorano's take on sparklers may have no deeper meaning behind it, but I interpreted Sorano's words really well. This positivity really lifts my mood, especially with how well this episode ended. This is the best ending I've watched in forever. Not even my favorite series has an ending as satisfying as this.
