In this episode…

A single sniff can undo decades, revealing that scent is less about fragrance and more about memory, ego, and the people we once were.

From neon-lit Tokyo bars to late-night train rides, nostalgia drapes itself in cologne, posture, and the ghosts of ambition past.

In these fushigi times, looking back is not mere reflection but an act of survival, a reckoning with the selves we carry and the people close to us now.
