Sora no Woto episode 10

Kanata asks Kureha to tell her more about Princess Iliya. Yumina asks Kanata and Rio to check up on an old woman named Jacott who lives in the mountains. The two later take a walk where Rio talks to Kanata about her half-sister. As the snow falls, Yacott, filled with memories about her love, runs off into the snow and never returns. Rio reveals she is the half-sister of Iliya, and decides to leave the fortress to help improve relations between the warring sides, leaving Kanata her trumpet.

Two episodes left, so the finale must be on the final two.  But I still liked what they did with the episode, which cleared up a lot of Iliya’s and Rio’s history.  It was a bit sad that Rio had to move on and the music they played during these final scenes was good… and the passing on of the trumpet was perhaps I think the highlight of this episode.  I’m interesting to see what’s they’ll do with the last two episodes (maybe they’ll be Rio back!) but it all comes down to time.
