The desperation in Riko when Nat said her mom is probably gone... oof. You can feel how much she needs to believe Lyza is waiting. Reg stepping in to protect her even when confused? Good boy. The departure scene was emotional.

This episode really feels heavy to the heart. Riko and Reg are determined, but ultimately they are children challenging what is basically a suicide mission all for a letter and a chance of meeting someone important. This episode feels perfect in terms of pacing and shows the emotional depth the orphanage kids have shared over time, even though we only get to see them in two episodes.

Now it starts—the decision to descend feels real and heavy. Reg and Riko chemistry is solid. Slight pacing pauses but tension builds nicely. Worth it. 🔥
