It seems early enough that Theo didn't realize Sae was his sister as well. Hope we get to find out what happened there some time.

I'm curious when the mangaka decided to include this connecting bond. The one-shot stars "Shio Fumis" but it's Sae. And then for some reason the protagonist was changed to a male, and the old protagonist was turned into a side character with the same last name with the orphanage background as the explanation why they share it.

It's just intriguing from a writing/creating standpoint.

i forgot her name but i believe she is the one that keep looking after sae. i think she too from the same orphanage but she retain her own name instead adopt the doctor's/orphanage's name as their surname.

edit: sae childhood friend is Tepel.

Nah, tepel said she lived with her parents and wasn’t a part of the orphanage. It just that the orphanage doubled as a public school

Holy shit, that's TIFA! Finally after so long she plays a role again. Its been so long i didn't expect it at all.

Being raised by a former editor with passion for books explain why Tifa's adamant on theo's education. (Remember that scene when she persuade theo the importance of learning? That's my favorite scene in this series).

It probably not him, but everyone else around. The society, maybe even other relatives, may well looked askance at Lumino raising a amity child and pressuring him about it. Thus Tifa run away, partly to protect theo, but also so to not burden Lumino and the rest of the orphanage. That's my guess.

From this chapter.

From a previous chapter.

I love callbacks like this. Same for Theo and Tifa being there which was alluded in a 4koma chapter, but seeing it in print is great.

tenhut's explanation is likely, another possibility is that the orphanage didn't have enough funding, for all the orphans back then.

note: chapter 14 shows baby Theo in Amun so Tifa probably left immediately, and Sophie published Shagrazzat after Tifa left so Sophie's huge donations came later and orphanage is wealthier now

chapter 33- 'pirates keeping us afloat' is pretty clear now

It's not just and amity child, but the RACE of said child(Haupi x Hyron) AND with a druj mark on the forehead. It's likely he WOULD'VE taken care of them just fine, but even ata young age, Tifa would realize that's asking A LOT(that and likely wanting to put as much distance as possible from anyone who might look for them).

it's not tepel, she's not an orphan and her birth was even mentioned by a passerby during this flashback

edit: here's the page

That would be a mistranslation. It's just "We've got a troublesome girl here". 娘 does not necessarily imply she's his daughter, you'd usually call that うちの娘, especially when talking with somebody who doesn't know you.

Also, please no >meds

I love callbacks like this.

This manga is so full of foreshadowing and set up.

I was re-reading the whole series again, and it struck it that in the chapter where Xtoh and staff talking about Theo's possible future after he show inability to initially choose office to aspire to (what chapter it was, 18 IIRC), while Xtoh talk about future in analogy of cogs, there's Cynthea face shown in the reflection of the metaphorical cogs, several chapters before she actually shows up.

Talk about cogs, this manga is like massive rube goldberg machine.


I really looking forward for Tifa/Theo reunion with Lumino. I'm sure it will happen. It would be a crime to not be with this such set up.
