• He has a dream (one of many I presume) in which he talks to Aiko about his life after her death, but so many years have passed that it's undermined by her fading from his memory, or at least his perception of that happening

    I see so he’s disassociating or his memory’s just going to shit, I get it thanks Edit: ok now I get it

    I wouldn't say he's "dissociating" or having problems with his memory, but rather just moving on from aiko.

    I don't think so, he seems somewhat distressed in that chapter because of what's happening

    With time you will forget things, it's not unusual, try to think about your first love, how she looked, will you get every detail right in your head? Probably not, if you actually look at a photo she will probably be different

  • whenever you stop seeing someone for a long time, even if it is someone you deeply love, key features of their appearance will slowly fade from your mind, then you'll use some of your scattered and vivid memories about them to reconstruct their image in your head, but you'll begin to doubt yourself. Even worse if you don't keep any photo of them

    was that really their face? did they really look like that?

  • Aiko keep going far and the facial expressions become no longer that visible, ofc the voice Is completely forgotten already.

    Instead of talking only, here we had a visual representation on how we forget people and how sad It actually Is since It Will reach a point of non-return, it's the antithesis of those work that Say "you Will live Forever in my Heart" when ofc at best One sentence or One object (a gift) can kinda make you "Remember" that Person.

    Once we die it's done, even important people are forgotten since their "shape" change over many interpretations, we were Born alone, we are alone and we Will die Alone that's about It.

    PS: let's not romanticize this Memory, aiko and punpun's relationship Is One of the worst dynamic ever created in a fiction, they are everything that no One should be as a "couple" and human beings in general as individuals.

  • Which chapter was this again?

  • Slowly forgetting the details of someone you loved after not seeing them for years. At this point, she is a distant memory. He can only remember very basic details of her appearance.

  • Punpun moving on
