That was a good extra chapter -- we finally got some context to how Faputa came in contact with the units and became the "princess"

I think that one theme of this manga besides giving yourself to the unknown is... encounters. To encounter something or someone, to pursue encounters is all that is needed sometimes to push you into new territory and to transform yourself into something else.

This manga feels to like a study on two of my favorite Joker phrases, " all it needs is one bad day" and " madness is like gravity, it only takes. One. Little. Push."

The beginning of value. Something gains value the moment we see the "potential" it holds.

The overlapping of value. By putting together things that hold value, we create objects with purpose. Tools to perform tasks, Food to form flesh, Tales to weave meaning and control minds.

The solidification of value, "Purity". The ideal of any object of purpose. The strongest weapon, the sharpest blade.

The liberation of wishes. Beyond what is "perfect", to create something that itself is not constrained by any single purpose.

The manifestation of wishes. Not an object, but a creature capable of creating value by "desiring" something.

This little bonus story has me hoping the big interference unit can fix Reg's arm with some spare materials. Assuming this arc doesn't end with everything but Reg, Riko, and Nanachi being destroyed for whatever tragic reason.
