I hope you now see from my perspective why I really wanted to keep that beach arc. Because without it, Maria's dialogue here wouldn't have carried much weight. We wouldn't have seen Mary spend any real time with her.
Minimo's magic would have also come out of nowhere. And the general bonding between all of the girls wouldn't have really felt complete if Mary hadn't spent time with at least a good chunk of them.
And yes, it was a little challenging, but I made sure to keep every single girl relevant to the climax because they all spent genuine bonding time with Mary.
This is why the beach arc is one of my favorite arcs, haha. Because it truly embodies the peaceful life Mary wants and has been fighting for.
