Back from Portland and back to the grind, bird on my knee and the wind at my back.

Sakura: The power that is within us

Is the power to cross spacetime.

FWR: You intend to use that power and to get out of there!!

Sakura: It's a power that we alone can use.

I have cleverly solved the "who's on first" problem by not differentiating. I honestly can't tell the difference any more, and I'm not sure it matters at the moment.

Oh FWR, so smart, but still so dumb.

The Utena joke is perfect for this! Like they say, you can't make an omelete without breaking some eggs. They already destroyed everything anyway, it's not like the destruction will stop if they sit around and wait.

Yuuko also said once that for every planet you destroy, another one is born, for ever action you take, something is made or something disappears. The universe has a way of taking care of itself by the laws of action and reaction. I'm sure that if they destroy every law, the universe will still reconstruct itself from the new laws afterwards. Of course, nobody would be alive to see the new begining but that's a small price to pay for the birth of a new universe, right? And maybe then we can get the end of this story which has become very boring already.

I don't know what you think. All I want is for this story to end once and for all, happily or tragically I don't care, I just want it over and finished.

Well, I do think our heroes are going to survive, though at this point I think everyone else surviving is very much up in the air. And I very much think you're right that the universe will take care of itself--I think FWR's key mistake is that he assumes that he has to (and has the right to) interfere in the order of things, when the order of things was going along just fine without him.

As I was saying to chibiyuuto, it's definitely time to put these two series to bed, awesome as they are. Hopefully both of them will be finished by the end of the year; as you say, they've totally been dragging.

In some ways I almost don't like reading the chapters as they come out; it's much more engaging to read the tankoubon than to have to keep waiting weeks, sometimes, between these short updates.
