EPISODE CONTEXT

Picking up directly from Episode 2's introduction of March and her grim fate as a sacrificial offering, this episode serves as a crucial bridge that deepens the relationships between March, Parona, and Fushi before the narrative shifts in Episode 4's 'A Large Vessel.' It's still early in the 20-episode season, firmly establishing the emotional foundation and character dynamics that will carry the story through its subsequent arcs. The series is building its pattern here—each arc teaches Fushi something new about humanity, and this episode represents a pivotal step in that evolution.
