In terms of “relevance of Misa and her friend’s goodbye scene,” I found it to be very reminiscent of the scene from episode 1 with Yuu and Yumi. Like, how this school is taking people away (having to leave their friends behind) and putting them under tight control.
In terms of observations, you guys neglected to mention the change in the OP, which now contains a whole backstory, written in perfect English I might add. It has little glimpses of all those documents that we saw when they were first releasing info about the characters a couple months ago. I will save my predictions for when Im actually on one of these podcasts
Bowiie’s prediction was great, as usual! Feels similar to what I was trying to get at with my theory I posted over in the general discussion. Like, once you stop believing, you forget about it and it goes away, so you have to savor youth and that stuff.
Also, btw, really great job on all three podcasts, guys! I’ve really enjoyed all three, and you’ve done really well with the length and stuff.
