That play was pretty fun. Makes me really wonder about the mom though. Who is she and what’s with the floating orb? There’s still a lot of unanswered questions.

This was a lot better than expected. I really enjoyed Kenzaburo’s dad wisdom and old school otaku knowledge lol. His wife and daughter also being huge otakus was pretty great too. Their running commentary in the later eps reminded me of Endo and Kobayashi. I really hope we get more, this was a good one.

My thoughts on this are:

They are technically in a world of magic, so fairies do exist. Somehow, the body swap had happened in the past ( anna's mom and Grace mom), but probably got exposed by Grace father, which may have a led to a consequence (Just a wild guess tho). they may have forseen what will happen in the future. As a mom, Jacqueline wont allow her daughter to be doomed. So she could have probably ask the fairy orb for help. They had to lock the true soul of Grace, so that (kenzaburo) can help her redeem herself. And grace mom should not meet grace as it may freed her true soul, while they haven't accomplished anything yet. And also, Grace mom knew that it wasn't her daughter at all, but a differnt soul.

When Grace mom cried during the performance, I think that was really for Grace, not for Anna. And that only justified while she was in the carriage and with the letter.
