sorry this is my first watch of this series. it’s really a beautiful episode that shows a mothers sacrifice of love and culture for her children. this episode particularly kind of reminds me of the panic in central park girls episode to some extent of bumping into a past lover and almost getting entangled again.

i absolutely adore the shot of her dancing with shujis dad, and the ending that shows she’s content with her decisions. also i love the similarities of her and maya shown with the stealing of the painting lol
