It’s wild to think a single old letter can flip everything on its head, like when Frieren faced Himmel’s statue ages ago. The way memories keep creeping up on Frieren, even after centuries, really hits different from typical shonen brands of regret—it’s not about what could have been stronger, but what never had a chance to exist. Meanwhile, Fern misplacing her spellbook in the middle of all this heavy soul searching somehow takes the edge off everything, like classic party game chaos in a serious RPG. If the series keeps treating memory like this, maybe it’s prepping us for a plot twist that loops the present back to the journey’s origin. It’s like fishing for lost time in a river—who else thinks there’s something bigger waiting downstream?
