Sofia looked so kind for a moment and was so happy explaining e-sports to Shirokane. You almost forgot she was paying noobs and bullying low elo players. Maybe she really learned her lesson. At least she see's the future of E-Sports with Shirokane. Seeing her get triggered at the mention of Yamano was pretty funny.
Hitonari was very blunt with Riko. Being a Matagi won't cut it anymore with the modernization of life. Hunting can no longer sustain anybody, because there's no need to hunt animals for profit anymore. Riko did the right thing by making Matagi secondary to her studies. She can still be a good hunter as a hobby.
It was sad seeing Masuko and Hitonari suffer so much to help bring Sonoko to school, but at the end it seems worth it. Because by doing so, she had Riko, and that made Hitonari so happy.
