I guess nobody thought of just flying over the fence after the entrance to the construction site was boarded up?

This was a magical episode with a mystical atmosphere, and I can't believe someone like you can't appreciate that.

I loved that scene in the beginning where the kid is slowly counting to ten, but speeds up when he reaches 8 because he knows everyone's gone and hiding by then. I did that all the time as a kid when playing stuff like hide-and-seek. The entire episode was actually quite nostalgic for me. Playing games at night with flashlights, having to find new places to play due to construction... those moments of joy are long gone, but fortunately, growing up provides you with new sources of joy.

Anyway, this episode had some powerful scenes, of which the most disturbing was the one where a can is seen falling off a ledge to its "death." This illustrated the elementary school kids' loss of joy and reminded us that kids sometimes find it difficult to deal with difficult problems and may, as an answer, resort to the worst.

They did not explain where did those kids learn how to manipulate the wind.

Another long hiatus but I am here to finish.

I liked this episode a lot. It was fun and that kick the can game seems like a cool kids game, which was well executed here btw. Very lively event.

The second half is a little more something, kinda sad to see the kids powers go. I'd love that airbending skill.

Another good ep, nice to see the wind power come back into play (pretty awesome way to use them too). Might be some foreshadowing with Nao & co's powers in the future.

Theme appears to be "whimsical"
