Ep. 2: Rakka explores Glie town and learns Haibane Renmei rules near the mysterious Toga traders.

2

Rakka tours Old Home with new friends, meeting the Young Feathers children. She then visits Glie with most Haibane, excluding Reki, to observe human society. Rakka discovers strict regulations enforced by the Haibane Renmei, including mandatory labor, ownership of only discarded human goods, and a ban on currency. Instead, members track finances in special notebooks. The town and countryside are enclosed by a massive wall, accessible only to traders known as Toga. Communication with these traders is restricted to a masked figure called the Communicator, who uses sign language. Rakka feels uneasy observing the Communicator and crows near the walls. Upon returning to Old Home at night, an exhausted Rakka is found waiting for by Reki, who watches her until she falls asleep.
