I wish I had a friendship like Reiko and Yaomay’s friendship 😭

Super confused about the last part though

Yaomei character development and back story is great to see and helps us understand why she strives to be her own person even if considered an inferior version of her mother.

Wow so the actual Kowloon that we have been seeing doesn't actually exist or is like an illusion to most people except for a select few (probably those who have some sort of connection or love for Kowloon).

Kowloon actually some matrix simulation made by the Generic Terra? Like the fact that there are clear clones being made and the physical location not existing there anymore points to yet another mystery that covers this series.

bro, Yaomay losing her sense of self reminds me of how I feel like I have been too. i've been doing things that don't feel very "me", contradicting my beliefs in my actions, doing things that feel good, but not like me, letting things I really don't like pass and changing my personality in public. I wanna go back to how I used to be. I wanna feel like me again. I wanna feel alive and make the decisions I wish to.

Also, bro, are they living in the past, the future, the present? What is Kowloon?

The Kowloon that we've been seeing this entire time does not actually exist... it is all an illusion is what the last scenes of this episode show. Does this mean everyone living there are simulations?

Kudou "killing" Kujirai B was a complete nothing burger or maybe it is foreshadowing something down the line. On the other hand we have Kowloon in complete destruction from the eyes of some...

The thought of Hajime killing Reiko Kujirai, sure, he plays it off like a joke to either the Kujirai before him or Kujirai B, but what part of it feels real and can't be ignored?

The aftereffects of both Hajime and Reiko just glooming at their individual, but similar circumstances, sees the latter trying to find Japanese books in a bookstore, leading the two (with Yaomei tagged along) them to Xiaohei's bookstore. And despite the loathing from Hajime knowing the facts like he's seeing either apparition of Reiko, it still depends on the woman on what suits best for her.

The National icon of actress Yangli being endorsed by Hebinuma Pharmaceuticals, and the view that Reiko is all OK thinking that she need not worry about Kujirai B, only unsettles Yaomei further of the world created by Generic Terra that just feels fake. Despite the worries though, the carefree Reiko seeking to reconcile with Yaomei, the latter thinking that she'd not be worth Reiko seeing through her facades, though she soon finds her stride and settles on making the best of her life.

Seems that everything is still falling in line with expectations, even Gwen's teahouse that's the communion place for both Reiko and Hajime. But Kowloon is changing, and so are the people being involved as the revolved Generic Terra around the walled city...is anything but real.

I'm thinking something happened to the city like a catastrophe or something and so present day the Kowloon is in ruins. Everything that's happening in Kowloon is happening in the floating thing. I feel like Kowloon is kind of like a ghost town as in there is a mass amount of peoples memories in the floating thing. I feel like it's kind of like the matrix except they are actually dead and it's just a simulation of Kowloon's past playing out.

What the hell is happening in Kowloon? Seems like a complicated timeline problem is going on here.

That "What I like" was so cute.

I can't decide if I like this anime or not. I know that it's not the best adaptation of manga and I already read spoilers about (a disappointing) ending, but nevertheless I'm curious, so I guess I'm watching. Definetely like the vibes, each episode just draws me in.

Well, this has been an episode for Yaomay. Mostly. Having someone manipulate your identity must be one of the worst things ever.
I think Kudo may have been telling the truth at the end of the previous episode or at least from his point of view.
Umh... I'm left wanting to know more. Is it possible Gene Terra is projecting something where there isn't any?
They're small "clues" that lead nowhere so far. I don't think everything will be known until the very end.

I may have commented on this before, but if not, here goes (I rewatched this ep after I had a bit of a hiatus)
- Somehow, the earrings feel like a very small thing to break over. Though I suppose maybe that’s just a small bit of Yaomei being molded and shaped to become a clone of her mother.
- Which would be suffocating! I just can’t take the earrings with the gravity it’s meant to have (though I do love Yaomei getting the shell earrings at the end)
- Rip Kudou-san for joking about murder, get absolutely Yaomei’d
Add to the list of sus things.
- I swear I wasn’t crazy when I thought “wdym there was a SECOND Kowloon Walled City” because I didn’t find that on Wikipedia, and lo and behold, Gwen just took a taxi to some ruins!
- funny they have floating cars out there
- Also, the former walled city as a dusty, DESERT like ruins? Which part of Hong Kong ISN’T humid as heck! Maybe it’s stylistic but I would’ve thought the humidity would keep the dust down.
- Then again, that’s like pretending a humid city can’t have dusty construction/demolition sites
- Just like Reko-Pon sitting in Gwen’s broken cafe/bar some episodes before
- Volume 2 of the book is garbled mojibake because… Kujirai-B didn’t read it, so it didn’t get backed up by mr Generic Terra?
- Kudou’s bad dreams giving all of the walled city an earthquake. Ok, or maybe only noticed by people who’s close to him like Reko-pon and… Xiaohei?
- Xiaohei working everywhere. Ok, maybe working in a bookshop and a restaurant isn’t sus, but the fact that a stylish BOY is the image MAL pulls up for Xiaohei is at once a spoiler and further sus-ness
