It's so wholesome that Mikuru is sensitive about things. I feel like there's something deeper to look into that hmmm. But anyway, that last scene was totally unexpectec

It's nice that we get to slow down and see Anna's POV on things. Bc if you think about her, her situation is very heavy for a kid to deal with

Pretty mid episode, not doing much for the plot. But then again, it's a kid's show so what do you expect? haha

Episode Context

A deliberate tonal shift into tenderness, Episode 17 trades investigation energy for quiet emotional texture. Anna takes center stage in a cozy, character-driven breather where a small, everyday moment unlocks something deeper: feelings of homesickness and longing tied to memories of her mother. The pacing is unhurried and sensory, leaning into warmth rather than plot momentum. Kurea earns meaningful screen time here, showing a perceptive, caring side that reframes her role in the group. Mikuru rounds out the support with her characteristic steadiness. The episode lives in the space of comfort food, gentle friendship, and the act of making something with your hands for someone you care about. A brief return to the mystery-action format keeps it grounded in the series' identity, but the heart of this one belongs to Anna.
