The bit that wrecked me was Yoko and her mom at the end. This was a two-parter that was INCREDIBLY dedicated to Hiromu's heroism and sacrifice (the first scene on Mission 29 is Hiromu's prophetic guilt dream!), so I'm glad that there was room to explore Yoko's connection to her mom amidst every Hiromu-centric thing.
