Episode 11: Love

Shafu dies, and Noa falls for a teacher who is already engaged. She hopes Noa will come for her on her wedding day, but he doesn't interrupt the ceremony. Instead, he releases balloons into the sky, symbolizing his love and letting her go to live her own life. Noa chooses to bless her happiness rather than selfishly take her away. The episode suggests that love is like a balloon—fragile yet colorful, floating with the wind, sometimes enduring life's rain and storms.
