The beats in this episode were crazy too, like we go from Ylfa breaking down crying trying to find answers about herself and life and grief to the ENTIRE party CACKLING as they bully Pinocchio to tell the big bad wolf his terrible wolf joke in a mere matter of MINUTES

I think baylan dying for shin is starting to make the most sense to me after last episode. I think that the both of them on their way back to the Chimaera will run into… some sort of trouble. I wonder if they won’t see each other again for a Conversation and Shin, somehow, ends up in trouble and Baylan finds her on his way back
Shin’s question of “you won’t help?” maybe won’t be in the forefront of his mind when he sees her, but the viewers will remember it. The parallel of ahsoka saying “I can help you” to Shin will be in our heads, too
But Baylan will go and help her because of course he will. It’s Shin. For one, I don’t believe he just abandoned her. Second, he’s not the kind of guy to stand by when his padawan is in trouble. Even with their “parting”, this is the same Baylan that “killed” Ahsoka because she threw Shin against a rock
I think he’ll save her life. In the end, he’ll help her.
I like to think their relationship started from Baylan, in some way, helping Shin. Helping her out of a situation, maybe, but helping her nonetheless. And so he’ll do the exact same thing to save her life

This might not be anything, but while writing about your fics, the way you have the characters' mannerisms down PERFECTLY got me thinking about mirroring...
There's a lot of it in 7 (Horii is a directorial genius etc etc), most of it more intentional than these probably are, but there's something so interesting about mirroring that takes the tone of a (relatively) fond memory, a familiar gesture, and inverts it in the way shown here.
OH I'M GLAD YOU'VE NOTICED THESE TOO I think I mentioned it months back (or I drafted a post 'bout it but didn't think it was anything noteworthy) but I always really did like how the Arakawa Family mimicked each other's mannerisms (also circling back to how Jo and Masato calling Ichiban 'Ichi' presumably after picking it up from Arakawa)!
Aoki actually does the same sitting gesture too! I went back to double check and skim through the rest of the game's cutscenes, and as far as I could tell unless I skipped a scene, it really is only these three that do this specific pose:
It's such a small detail but I love it immensely and it really does highlight their connections with each other and it drives me insane
