Mixed bag episode because their journey getting to the ship was interesting and Kimone revealing she carried her suitcase around as a crutch for her bad leg and poor health was good and explained a lot. What I didn't like was the convenient plot device of neither of them remembering meeting each other as kids then it coming back to Hairi in a dream.

One weird possible explanation for Kimone wishing she would see the other kids at the end is that they died on the way except Hairi. It would explain the memory loss on both their parts from trauma but would introduce more problems like wouldn't this have been a major news story throughout Japan and wouldn't everyone on a small island remember such a horrible thing happening and someone would mention it to Hairi? 🤔
