I also found Satoshi crying at the end whilst he ate his dinner touching. This was a sweet enough filler to pad out the winter break. Despite the really heavy theme of a dead child it felt overall rather insubstantial, but as it's just a special tbh I expected very little from it anyway. An inoffensive outing for the TRio.
Also, I know it's AU-verse but what was the point of trolling us about Satoshi's father? It added nothing whatsoever.
