@cromat i think we're just supposed to think about how life can pass you by sometimes and while it will leave you feeling isolated and lonely you will intime change and adjust to the world around you. But i feel like it could have used more time to build on, feel like it should have been a 2 parter
after thinking about it, i think i kind of get whats happening
the guy after 10 years on pluto realized that he's no longer the same man. pluto has broken him. he feels like he doesnt have any emotions even when his lover cheated on him with his subordinate. his soul has been frozen
basically a form of "i'm too old for this" and a resignation that he's a shadow of his former self.
but motoka is telling him that its okay and that with time, he will thaw. he might not go back to who he was before the 10 years on pluto, but it doesn't mean he'll have to stay frozen forever.
