Heh, I remember when people were saying that Aechmea was lying to Phos and telling lies, how she was failing for it again... but after these last chapters, it seems he was being honest, at least all it's matching up for now.

Poor Bort, she is totally wrong about Phos, she didn't deceive anyone, and give everyone an opportunity to go back.

And was Cinnabar about to say she was going to the Moon, but was roped into this side??

She thinks everyone was decieved because of course Diamond would be decieved.

The fact Dia would go along with Phos willingly is not a thought Bort has even considered. Fitting really

"They" and "Them" or just using their names is perfectly comprehensible in my opinion. Defaulting to masculine ruins a lot of the author's intentional gemder ambiguity.

Using male pronouns is fine because of Japanese's gender ambiguity and the character's Bishonen roots. It's clear from the story that the gems don't have genders and I believe the gems use neutral to male speech patterns in the original. Kongou is also clearly male designed and they might have just copied his way of talking. If he talked in a female way, they might do so, too.

Oh man. Oh man.



Why I have the impression Aechmea plan is to mix truth with lies and turn them against each other slowly. He has told mostly truth until now, but I believe he is lying here. The whole "you love him because he emits something for that, not because he is your father figure" is too convenient to him.

I kind of buy it. A lot of the series is about individualism, freedom, the will/lack of will to change etc, and "humans put a mind-control device in me because they were terrified of abandonment" fits right in with the other themes of the series.

Also maybe a more meta reason; this feels like we're nearing the end and introducing a whole new antagonistic complex arc like that would be a huge extension.

It is quite brutal to say that you can’t save anyone 4 or under cuz they aerosolize and get scattered into space. Not even the snails and slugs can get them back?

I like how something that is important to the characters, it's dramatic and poo poo has a simple, mundane explanation (the dust is too fine and would fly away. The may not like it, but physics doesn't care about what you like.)

That end O_O
