Alright, so the plan has been revealed. I can’t say that I fully understand the money making scheme, but I am glad that Lawrence seems to have it figured out. Holo is pretty melancholy for a good portion of this episode, talking about how oppressive loneliness can be and describing her dream/nightmare of being alone (@rikka@ani.social):

Something I was surprised by is how quickly the “secret” of Holo’s wolf identity seems to have been revealed. I wonder what the ramifications of this reveal will be. They have made it clear that the church is quite powerful in this nation and that Holo is decidedly not a fan of the church. Looking forward to next episode.
