Toast is definitely her bait.

Dammit, don't tell me what that the grandma is the descendant of a family that know about her ever since her 'descent'?

Oxygen is nasty stuff, it's just that life and almost everything around it have learned to cope with it. Bring back something from an oxygen-less environment and you'll get another perspective. It's not for no reason moon samples at NASA are kept in nitrogen-filled containers where the oxygen levels are restricted to single-digit ppm...

@Chizan In case I was not clear, I think you're spouting BS. But I'm not a moon rock expert. I can accept that the rocks degrade, as in crumbling into dust, very very slowly when exposed to air. But oxygen is probably not why.

Is this the same moon rock from back in chapters 13 and 14 that they were keeping in a nearly pure nitrogen environment? Why would Tokiko take it out of there, and just hold it in her hands like that? Has she gone senile or something?

And why isn’t NASA-kun freaking out about this? He knows just how bad that would be for the rock. This is really confusing.

Bread from Ginza and Echire butter. Classy.

 

[GeNtLeM4N]

The possibility of Tsukasa dying by the end of this manga is rising by the second

 

[ziel_demon]

tsukasa really have body of hinagiku and personality like A-tan.....

 

[ryouhira]

that granny sure is one of kind, SHE WEARING HOODIE!

 

[radstylix]

I predict that moon rock is

Spoiler

keeping her alive and/or young

. From the looks of things, probably the latter because of that

Spoiler

WW2(?) flashback

.

 

[davidsdac]

I predict nasa will have ntr with tokiko

I like to think that the rock is like tsukasa , we don't know exactly who she is or if she might have come from an earlier time or been alive for awhile, but she is still a girl and nasas wife. Just like granny said its just a rock, even if it took thousands of years to get its still just a rock. Tsukasa may be mysterious but she is still just a girl that wants normal human things, so I think that the granny was hinting that by saying make her happy, don't treat her any differently then a normal girl.

id like to think that was her way of bullshiting out of the fact that for the wedding gift she just gave the man a fucking rock

It was explained clearly in early chapters (13 and 14, as Jsmith45 points out in the comment I quote next) when we first caught sight of the rock in Chitose's house, in a sealed glass container that was maintaining an atmosphere of nitrogen to isolate it from oxygen, explicitly. Whether in reality that's the case, the manga itself established that oxygen was bad for the composition of the rock, so we can at least assume in the framework of the manga, it is no longer the same as it was while being preserved.

It's because the rock isn't actually that important. It was a red herring. It was considered important for a time, but presumably its use in attempting to do whatever it was acquired to do is done, and it serves no purpose anymore other than as a keepsake.
