I didn't think I would love him as much as I did... Which is a shame, because I love goofballs, and Impey is a beautiful goofball

In truth, I was blinded by my own biases, I don't really like girl grazy LIs. They tend to annoy me, but his little blushing sprite ? The fact that everyone ribs on him ? The fact that Cardia always cut him off coldly at the beginning of the story ? He did grow on me quick after all that ¯\_ (ᵕ—ᴗ—)_/¯.

There's something about his story too. About being a dreamer and continuing to dream even in the face of (or in spite of ?) the evil of the world. He's got no one and yet, he continues on and find his own people pursuing his dream. I think him and Nemo are great as foil to each other. And I would have loved to have a little more between him and Delly. The tragedy of their lives and how they both go about living on for the people they loved.

The ultimate cheerleader to Cardia, they both are so cute together. Sappy, charming, ride or die to the end of the world. I know they'll get to the moon one day, and I know it will be an act of love so impressive it will inspire others to pursue science for the wonder of it all. I don't know, he reminds me of looking at the stars and imaging all the things we will discover as we continue to question the world around us.

What is it again ? Science becoming magic, atoms as spells and wonder turning to truths ? There's always something to be amazed by in the world we live in.

MYSTERY CLUE :

I don't like our dad. There ! I said it ! Yea, I'm sure he'll be justified at the end, that our existence that is just pain was for the greater good of humanity or something...

I hope the conclusion is that he was a prick for making us for that particular goal. You don't make a child just to discard it later. You don't use it as a glorified box and suddenly grow a conscience and leave her alone for TWO years without a word. And if the little one is really our brother then you don't just... Leave them with your legacy suffocating as they beg for your love after you abandoned them. I really hope she tells him that she might have been "made" but at the end of it all she is her own person. Not a savior or a saint. She deserves to be her own person

I felt bad for Nemo... Not that I felt bad for his end, it was very fitting. It's just... the idea of this kid seeing his country fall to Britain's ruthless campaign and coming out of it worshipping the violence ? That nothing matters as long as your reach your goal. The gaping maw inside his chest, of death and loneliness. I liked his arc very much.
