Ep. 13: Debris Section members visit Hachimaki's family and assist with a rocket launch

13

Following the Toy Box's destruction, the Debris Section takes a holiday on Earth. Tanabe and Yuri accompany Hachimaki to visit his mother, Haruko Hoshino, where they meet his brother, Kyutaro Hoshino, a rocketry enthusiast. Yuri assists Kyutaro in modifying and test-launching his home-built rocket at the beach. Meanwhile, Hachimaki and Tanabe encounter an old friend who mistakes Tanabe for Hachimaki's girlfriend, leading to a near-kiss interrupted by the malfunctioning rocket. Fee informs Hachimaki that the Debris Section has received a new debris hauling ship. Hachimaki ensures Kyutaro apologizes to Yuri for breaking his compass during the failed launch. Yuri appreciates the gesture, noting it helps her move on from the past. As the trio returns to the ISPV 7, Kyutaro successfully launches his rocket using Yuri's compass in the nosecone.
