Geriatric hedgehog
Death Scythe
Episode 12
Fireworks and reconciliation. Wasn't expecting a fireworks episode in this show but the tolling bells at the year's end celebration brought a very peaceful vibe to the town. The distribution of presents by the Haibane, in silence, to the humans that had nurtured them over the year was heartwarming.
Reki fortunately didn't come out of her room sleepless in the early hours transformed into a moody goth. Rather she has been very much the resolute adult (whilst of course still rebelling against Haibane dude heh, do we ever stop rebelling against our elders??) in accepting her fate, whatever that may be. Rakka, and her apparently no longer estranged bff, demonstrate that, underneath it all, Reki is not as alone as she may think. Hopefully this can count towards absolving her of her crime against the wall, the same as Rakka was able to achieve thanks to the bird that was looking out for her.
On another note, some cryptic chat was had between Rakka and Haibane dude about their true name reveal on ascension to the throne of heroes (apologies for the terrible reference, been playing too much FGO). I'm shocked and disappointed that we have not had any overt hauntings inside the wall tunnel workspace for Rakka after all the ominous warnings... Onwards to see how this wraps up now.
Edit: Oops I had accidentally labelled this episode 11 when it was 12, having forgotten I'd done 11 with 10; apologies
