EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the exact midpoint pivot of this 12-episode run, 'Fleeting Laughter' follows Episode 6's hints at deeper historical connections and fully commits to a Kamakura-period flashback that recontextualizes the present-day conflict. It bridges the setup-heavy first half with the consequence-driven back half, laying critical groundwork for Episode 8, 'Boys, Lamenting in the Rain,' where past and present begin colliding in earnest. This is the series' foundational lore episode — skip it and the final act loses most of its weight.
