What the genuine Christmas tree fuck. I wonder if that's Phos's old eye, or just something else entirely.

 

[Loopeyfluff]

uh oh. that can't be good O - O

Phos when humanity still exists

 

[JumboWheat01]

The suffering continues in a very Cthulhuian way.

 

[Okuu]

Hello darkness my old friend

 

[xyzzy]

Of course because why should we expect nice things

 

[Skydaz]

OF COURSE IT WOULDNT LAST THIS LONG

 

[UnderworldBlues]

Thanks for the chapter!!!!!!!
Maybe it's a fragment of Phos herself?

Thanks for the chapter!!!!!!!

Yeah, it did look like Kongo missed a few chips and pieces when he put Phos back together, including the eye made of Phosphophylite

 

[begait]

thank you for the update!! idk what i was expecting but i was lowkey really enjoying the change of pace the past few chapters :,) there go my dreams of a fun scifi philosophical iyashikei... still stoked to see what comes of this exciting new development though!

 

[Novis]

Nooo leave them alone! they were happy and bouncing around!

 

[InsaneAwesomeTony]

As always, thanks for the chapter 👍🏼

Man, the author must really fucking hate Phos for not allowing her to be happy and just constant suffering

 

[d4rk4ng31666]

Okay so thinking back to how Phos obtained their power to talk to the flesh of humanity in the ocean (by being eaten by the snail)-- the minerals we see here could just be the ones phos had collected over time. Their inclusions.
You have the arms, which is a mix of two different alloys I believe. Gold and Platinum to be specific (would have to double check).
Their legs from the ocean.
Head from Lapis.
Artificial Pearl eye from the moon.
And then you have mercury from cinnabar.

If we assume all previous parts were present up until now, it makes sense why Phos references that they are the 'humanity left behind'. They couldn't prey away their inclusions, or minerals under their '7 treasures', hence they alone remain. The last stain of humanity.

If you re-read the first winter chapters, the ice floes can speak, but to most it's just unintelligible. So maybe the inclusions phos has, could speak all along? Would certainly explain the Lapis visions. Now that all of humanity was removed besides their own legacy, it could be that due to the lack of overwhelming presence of humanity everywhere the smaller voices of the rocks and uncut, unrefined gems can speak now. Or, more accurately, they can be heard now.
It also works for the same reason why the eye sticks out above the rest. It was man-made, artificial. 'Perfect' by design, the perfection being it's flaw amongst all these other naturally forming gems. And only humanity could make such a thing. No wonder the eye is acting as symbolism for the last of humanity when it's a human invention.

Ichikawa you did it again.

yeah it's definitely the box-like meteor detection device. back for blood i guess.
could also be a reference to the third eye of enlightenment in buddhism.

That is a very good analysis. Thanks for the insight.
