By the end of the first episode of Heavenly Delusion, any sweeping comparisons to The Promised Neverland go mostly out the window as the series delves into its version of a post-apocalyptic reality. However, in episode 2, we learn a little more about Maru and Kiriko, and among the various plot-expanding reveals that emerge in this episode, a certain motif appears that may do a little more heavy lifting when it comes to drawing similarities between Masakazu Ishiguro's series and that of Posuka Demizu and Kaiu Shirai.
