The entire time, the main characters have no idea if their homes are fine, or if their families are still alive, and it has to be eating them up inside. It takes them almost a week of walking through the largest metropolis on Earth to gain absolution; waiting a couple episodes for us to learn the truth pales in comparison, but helps me on some level to empathize with what they're going through.

This was done so well, and gave such a realistic view (as you said, except for that small plot twist toward the end), that it....I'm speechless. I loved it.
