Can't wait to see a 100ft tall statue of Himmel later while hand choking a dragon.

I find the message of this chapter particularly comforting.

We may be forgotten by our descendants, the past may never be remembered, and one day the earth will be swallowed by the sun.

But none of that changes what we accomplish in our lives. That is, was, and will always be real and true. The past is immutable and unchanging, even if we can't see it.

I'm not concerned with living forever. But I am a historian. I want to know the truth of the past. I want to preserve it for posterity. But this is a humbling and comforting reminder that the truth doesn't need me. It will always exist independent of my efforts. But those efforts can hopefully bring it back into the present.

I wonder...if there's an afterlife where Himmel's souls resides in, and if he were to be deified enough, could he ascend into an actual god?
That's actually part of the reason for the journey, there is an actual afterlife accessible from the mortal realm, and Frieren is heading there to talk to him again.

Himmel is slowly turning into Blake from "The Hero is Dead!"

On the one hand, I kind of like the message of this chapter.

On the other, Himmel originally posed for so many statues so that Frieren would be able to see images of her friends long into the future. It's a bit sad to think about how future statues will be 'updated' in the future, to the point where it might be rare for Frieren to see an accurate depiction of the hero's party.

Though, we've seen that there are still accurate statues of Kraft around, so maybe this kind of thing will be a rare occurrence.

For a moment I was happy to see a different kind of Himmel that wasn't shown in the story and Frieren might not know of, since people don't just go from their 20-ies to their 70-ies. They live a life in-between. Pity
