#Or maybe 5 if the translation to primer año de bachillerato means she's on second year of three at japanese high school

Also can I say how I love the way the romance in this one is left unfulfilled, at least for the moment, but Souta and Suzume are still super close? It's perfect, bc right now they're really not at that point but they will; that final shot of Suzume with Souta in the netherworld/afterlife/other place as lil Suzume goes back, where their looks and the way Suzume is paralleled to her adult mother makes them very much equals in the silhouette? Foreshadowing!

Also their friendship is forged in fire XD and both know about the supernatural, I bet that although Souta is gonna be the main sealer of doors, Suzume is not letting him do it alone if she can. And he'll come visit her when he can too so really, I'm happy! 6

But also lol her poor aunt. All the movie worried her niece has been lead astray and well. It's not a gang member or a scammer, but it's indeed a guy older than her who gets into magic shaneaningans of dubious danger. At least he's good? And they're not really dating just vibing? I wonder what Tomiko knows by the end; she saw Suzume and the god cats enter the door and disappear, and then she watched Suzume come back with Souta. They had to explain something, but mmm.
