Someone can disappear for ten years, and then rekindle a connection to the world in an afternoon. It doesn’t take a lot. It’s a tragedy, to be forgotten. But it’s not really fatal, not really the end. If we stay true to ourselves, and reach back when someone reaches for us, it can all work out.

This is the core of why I like this bi-weekly monster story so much. The whole concept of someone disappearing because of an Imagin rampage in the past and nobody remembering them in the present is such a neat idea. It's a great example of the show's theme of memories and it ties directly into everything that's going on with Yuuto, too. Plus it leaves us with that haunting final note (pun intended) of Piano Hobo boarding the Denliner to drift along through time until he can find his place again. I really love everything that's going on with this concept.
