I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind
i was emotionally groveling over how phos and shinsha's last moments together were tainted with anguish and sorrow... 馃檪 i think it's interesting to see the progressive shift in shinsha's confidence, indicating how much their resolve grew since their first encounter with phos.
out of the two, shinsha is the only one who remembers their promise and the extent of its deep significance. between letting go of the notebook and crushing the mercury-formed figure of young phos, it felt like shinsha forcibly wanted to distance their old feelings for phos, at least the memory of the version who actively wanted to save them in the first place, in order to protect adamant.
nevertheless, i'd like to think shinsha's efforts didn't fall through considering how clearly they could recall their gratefulness to phos since the last few centuries the promise was made until the very end. ^_T

((Happy December to the crew of Amazing Digital Circus and @gooseworx. So excited for the rest of the show!
The characters work well with TNBC/Burton style. Don't worry though, Cane's not abstracting. I was trying to show pixelation but that's hard to do when you're mostly a traditional mixed media artist and not a digital guru. Oh well.))
