Sure, big trips to the beach are great fun and make memories too, but the little things in life are just as important, if not moreso, and I'll always love this episode for showing that.

This is a nice note, and I appreciate you sharing it! I also think the main trio comes off well here as believable teens that genuinely support each other, even if I found the specific execution of their trip to the train station to be slightly unbelievable -- namely, I don't believe for a single second that canonically-doughy Utsumi has better stamina than Rikka; there's no way he'd beat her to the train station! ABSURD!

Beyond that, though, there are definitely some nice moments to their friendships, from the small moments of silent companionship, to the big moments of 5k runs for justice. Thanks again for sharing your take on it!
