I've always hated the "Humans are evil" beats on stories and the like. They feel too self-serving and aggrandazing, like it's trying too much at sounding either philosophically deep with very basic ideas or intellectually relevant when it's just laziness in the details—Not to mention biased, boring and cheap. I'm not gonna lie, I feel the same way towards this, especially when all bad that's happened in the story is actually a fault of the same ones condemning humanity or that are supposedly distinct from it lol. But it's beautiful, and fun.

It's not perfect in any way, but much like Phos, I love the good as much as I love the bad, and when it's all put together it's much better than the sum of it's parts. That's happiness to me.

We're close to the end. Let's hope in Phos' Nirvana they find happiness forever.

Agree, my only criticism for this story is awful this story painted the humans. I just hate how the reason Phos suffer is because he developed human emotion, that is wanting to change and wanting to find answer. There's nothing wrong with seeking the truth, but somehow he has to suffer all of the consequences of it.

In the end I'm really confuse of what message Ichikawa wants to send. Is it that Human is bad so they need to disappear? Is she trying to tell us that nothing matters so why even try to change anything?

It kinda sucks that if you think about it, Phos wouldn't have to suffer and any of this wouldn't happen if he just did the encyclopedia job like he was told to.
