I don't think CLAMP has acknowledged the gift of simplicity in this story.

Thank you for the translation! I'm glad that Sakura and Syaoran bear their son no ill will for what they know he will eventually do (though none of the upcoming events will be fully his fault).

Hah, well, simplicity is being what you are, without guile, as well as being un-complicated...

They do seem to be a happy family, which is a happy thing. I think if there is any fault, though, it's either mostly FWR's, or it's spread around pretty equally: all of the characters do something rather than sitting around apathetically.

I wonder if the clones were born into the timeline they were in and lived the years before they finally found one another, or did they suddenly just pop there in their teenage selves? (eh? am i making sense?)

But thanks very much for the translations~

Makes sense to me! Yuuko made it sound like they would be born and live out natural timespans--and in this chapter Sakura talks about Shaoran's parents remembering when he was a baby.

[ariadnechan.livejournal.com]

Yes i think they have a natural life as non clones with fathers and all that's why Yuuko sacrifice her stop time granting wishes in order to have the power to grant real life

but is sad know all that will happening in the future

I misss Yuuko and her love for Clow and viceversa that it was so clamp

The adorable art is adorable

...but...the relationships...I guess there aren't any genetic issues since the clones are reincarnations

But I'd still like to have been a fly on the wall during the meeting where they decided the father of the son is the reincarnation his clone and the mother is the reincarnated clone of his future girlfriend.

It's much less skeezy since they are reincarnated imo. If they had been the parents of the originals in the actual cloned bodies--blech.
