I really like the character arc they’re setting up for Kazuhiho where Marie’s excitement about Japan is helping him engage with real life more and eventually have more hobbies than just sleeping.

Also, as someone who lives on a fault line, the two reactions to the earthquake seemed pretty true to life, lol. Marie’s reaction was a bit over the top, but visitors definitely get pretty freaked out when we get an earthquake that makes locals go “oh, huh”.
