For what it's worth, I often find that IPv6 connections start out as
if they were unidirectional --- from one machine, pings go nowhere;
when another machine pings the first, everything starts working.

But then from 2001:388:c020:2::1 :
: wombat ; ping6 2001:388:c020:2:230:abff:fe12:737d
PING 2001:388:c020:2:230:abff:fe12:737d(2001:388:c020:2:230:abff:fe12:737d) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:388:c020:2:230:abff:fe12:737d: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=19.2 ms
64 bytes from 2001:388:c020:2:230:abff:fe12:737d: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=6.40 ms

And then from 2001:388:c020:2:230:abff:fe12:737d

: numbat ; ping6 2001:388:c020:2::1
PING 2001:388:c020:2::1(2001:388:c020:2::1) 56 data bytes
