Thanks! This was fascinating to read. ^^. I have no idea about Nordic mythology and what it represents, but it sounds really convincing the way you put it

You kidding ? I love discussing this kind of topic, and that included having people answer me ! And your thoughts on the subject are totally mindblowing ! That soapbox is big enough ...
Even the hope [what's left of it, especially by the end] in TB is a bitter thing itself. Yes, I agree... how ever, even if bitter, there's a part of sweetness in it. The note of hope in TB, that's the conversation with Hokuto, Subaru remembers in front of the mirror in Annex. "It's because we are different beings that we can care of each others" And the importances of words... of saying "thank you", "hello" etc. in everyday life that makes people intimate. That's right there in what Hokuto said, and that's the answer to the tragedy of Babel. If people were not different, others to each others, if they had no such trouble communicating, knowing what others felt... they could not love each others. But then, I love me a bittersweet ending.
I always saw Seishirou as the embodiment of cruel, heartless Tokyo itselfTotally agree ! Though I'm not sure

I was absolutely fascinated reading this. I couldn't have expressed it as good as you did ;_;
Separation, marge (in-between space), and reintegration (the window frame at the end of v16, and the window-gate frame at the end of v17 to mark that Subaru has entered through the gate after Rainbow Bridge) O_O; that was the reason why in X17 Subaru is drawn through that window, I always wondered, looked so 'out-of-place' or 'done-in-purpose' that picture ^_^ but I never related it to the previous window... Clamp will always surprise me XD
I'm going to read it again, loved it so much and I understand why you had so hard time writing this, SxS are whatever but easy to explain ^_~ thx.

Well, at least the window thing is my theory, and it works with the previous symbolism i could find. ^^
