Simon Jimenez king of queer yearning written into the very fabric of the story. I go back and forth between thinking it’s a bit slow and boring and mundane, and getting pulled back in. but if ur gonna send this child off to grow and develop in space for 15 years, cut off from society, shouldn’t you send a teacher with him?? he’s gonna be illiterate

oh even early Simon Jimenez had the JUICE, my god. the bittersweet yearning for a life beyond your own, the imbalance of time, the longing for a single day, years from now, guiding Kaeda, the gradual realization that he has to live for his own life, that he can’t wait forever, and all this life full of experience means nothing to Nia, for whom mere months have passed. working 15 years just to pass your bounty on
