Miken: Once again writing during a thunderstorm, but this time also with ice taped onto the burn on my arm. I must really really hate myself…Then again, writing under the covers isn’t that bad. *waits for thunderstorm to blow over*
Anyways, Mari really got better fast from her anemia (?). I would have assumed that something serious enough to make her faint and be unable to walk without collapsing would mean that she would need to take a while to recuperate. Then again, Bones only has 11 episodes total to get the story of this series across. Obviously, the wouldn’t want to waste time having Mari recover when they would try to focus on having the kids return home to their parents and Mari back home to Hina.
On the topic of Hina, I was kind of jarred to see Mari choose to send the kids home first. Sure, she has faith in her belief that both her daughter and mother are fine, but she must have some sort of maternal instinct telling her to get back home as fast as she can. Then again, being the overall nice person that she is, she probably can’t turn from the fact that Mirai and Yuuki are still two young children who need to get back home, and she probably wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she just abandoned them here midway into their journey.
Otherwise, this wasn’t really much of an episode…Sure, Mari’s decision was huge and will probably have serious repercussions, but it was slow overall. I can’t really say much more, so here I am ending another absurdly short post.

Well… some progress! At last, in this episode Mirai really seems to be completely through with her self-pity and general pissiness. She’s working together with Yuuki, to help Mari get home faster. So she’s thinking about others, more than herself. Finally.
I did think Mari would head, to her house first. But I think what’s going on, given her episode with anemia, she is feeling at some level that they need to stay together as a team; and that no one should go off on their own. At least, that’s the only way I could figure that working.
I’m still enjoying the buildings falling down, bookshelves toppling and so forth.
