In regards to your final question: Had the mother died during that 7 day period leaving her letters project unfinished my answer might be a little bit different. However, the reading, dancing, playing house, and whatnot were matter of course for 7 year old Anne. Over time, while those memories were precious to her they would have faded into a blur as she grew older. Through the letters her mom was able to speak to her at the different points in her life, and each one was a monument to how much Anne's mom loved her. I think it's absolutely the right call for the mother to sacrifice some of her limited time to make a lifetime's worth of impact on her daughter. While happy memories are great and all, sadness and loneliness can wear away at them and start making you doubt things you once knew for certain. If all Anne had were intangible memories, she might have succumbed to bitterness as she grew up. The letters themselves were tangible points of connection to how much her mother loved her and gave her strength to face the challenges of life alone.

2021-10-01 02:47:30 +0000 UTCI was caught off-guard by it too ngl ๐ I thought she was writing letters to distant family/relatives so when I found out the truth it really hit different. Especially after seeing how badly Anne wanted her to throw the letters aside without even knowing they were for her ๐ญ

2021-10-01 02:06:46 +0000 UTCI subscribed to your patreon months ago in anticipation of seeing your reaction to episode 10. One thing I will suggest is checking out the Netflix/TV version of episode 10 when you get a chance. The ending theme "Michishirube" starts playing when Anne gets the first letter delivered and plays throughout the letter montage and Violet's breakdown at the end. To me the TV broadcast ending has much more of an emotional impact than the blu-ray ending. When I first watched this episode I assumed Violet was writing the dying mother's will, so when the revelation of birthday letters happened it hit me out of left field and I was completely emotionally destroyed XD
