If you pause at 23:12 you might see something pretty interesting.

Yeah, I don't think I really liked this episode when I first watched it either. I remember feeling like the story was really unmoored and I was impatient to get to the next main part of the story. I knew that the story was going to be totally different from this point on, so I was impatient to see if I would like it or not. But looking back on it, I can see how important this is for characterization, and especially for Shin's character. It's like he's feeling that same sense of being adrift that we are as the audience, but, unlike us, he thinks he's going to die very soon so he has just decided to live in this moment and enjoy it. He doesn't think he has a future, so he's not searching for anything.

I absolutely agree with this. But I liked this episode from the start. It has great environmental story telling to reinforce what the characters are going through. Nowhere to go, nothing to do, no goal to reach...just wide open spaces. I think it does a great job of being peaceful but really uneasy at the same time.
