I appreciate scavengers reign for making it's aliens actually function as animals instead of generically hyper aggressive or evil monsters. They're just lil guys surviving, hiding, nurturing and hunting on their lil planet. Even the few that are kinda scary are just acting on survival tactics instinctively even if it harms the human crew.

What can I say? I have no words. It was so heart wrenching, yet it held that spark of hope... It was just like Yuki's kindness- like a Candle.
We also get the insight to Akito's past. I loved that sweet scene where Shigure was comforting Akito. It was just so loving.
Yuki has always been trying to move forward and open up. To see him do that latently gives me the courage (yuki, if you get me) to follow him. I'm glad to see him move forward, and slowly but steadily open that lid.
In here, Akito says "My Yuki", I get this feeling of double meaning (as Yuki can be both the person or 'courage') and so it makes that line even more powerful. It makes me want to unravel more of their past and the mystery that lingers around Sohmas.
In all, this has now become my favourite Fruits Basket episode ever. Let's wait and see if it can be replaced in the future.
