The story is sweet, but I kind of wish we’d gotten a more detailed look into Hikaru's and Torao’s lives before all of this happened. Then I probably would have been able to connect and empathize with the characters better.
I don’t quite understand why Torao’s parents decided on cryopreservation. Wouldn’t it have been better to just let their son go? Was it really just because they felt guilty for being against their relationship back then? Personally, I wouldn’t want to live in a world where my entire family and other important people in my life are all dead, sounds like a fucking nightmare to me. It's so selfish of them in my opinion. Well, at least they made sure that an android that looks like their son's past lover would be by his side when he wakes up I guess.
What happened to Hikaru A? Was he just shut down again after Torao decided against him?
Some things just don’t make sense to me. Why was only Hikaru B’s arm found next to Torao when they found him in the desert? Where was the rest of him? Where was he if he wasn’t “dead”? The professor said Hikaru B protected Torao with everything he had to keep him alive. That’s why I assumed he no longer existed, but apparently that wasn’t the case… and in the bonus chapter (I assume this is the time when he was waiting for Torao, who was in a deep sleep), Hikaru B suddenly has both arms again, even though at least one of his arms should be missing. Okay, you could explain that by saying he restored himself during that waiting period, but the question still remains: Why didn’t he go looking for Tora after he’d restored his legs, but instead waited in Oze all that time?
Am I overthinking this? Because the author probably just wanted to express Hikaru’s devotion yk, something like: “I’ll wait for you as long as it takes, no matter how many hundred years it might be, my love for you is that strong." ( I guess that's it?..)
Maybe I’m just too unromantic for those kinds of stories to hit me lmao
