Nanami being Umi isn’t exactly a surprise seeing as the show has left not-so-subtle hints last week but the surprise was that Nanami herself found out about it this early. Expected it to happen in the penultimate episode or the finale. Wonder why she still referred to Shiroha as Shiroha-chan even in her thoughts. There must be something more to this.

Two episodes left in this series and I’ll have to brace myself for emotional damage seeing from the previous arcs.

I don't think Nanami is 100% Umi, because her form and voice are different, but it does seem like her identity is mostly made up of Umi's memories and her desire to save her mother.

Maybe because she thinks Shiroha needs "Nanami" more than Umi, she's still trying to think and act as Nanami even though now she's aware that she's Umi?

It would probably be awkward for Shiroha to realise her daughter and oneesan from her childhood look exactly the same, therefore it works as camouflage.

Yeah, that’s why I said there must be something more. Couldn’t be as simple as a grown up Umi who had somehow travelled back to the past, losing her memories in the process.

We already had a teddy bear coming to life and taking its owner’s appearance (as well as inheriting her memories) to fulfil her wish. A manifestation of Umi’s resolve to save Shiroha wouldn’t be too far-fetched.
