@Abangerz I’d say Xabi Alonso could also be a good analogue.

@Violistofhameln Thanks for the translation and stay safe!

@alacaelum Well, yeah, it is a sci-fi story, so I do expect some liberties with known science. I just thought the way you phrased your comment was misleading because you said that "the body isn't just a vehicle for the brain" and "the body experiences things and learns to do things on an...

@alacaelum I don’t quite think that neuroscience checks out. I’m pretty sure instinctual actions (other than reflexes) are still handled by the brain.

@skids48 Having the goalkeeper involved as an extra man in the build-up is pretty common when playing against the press but I have never seen a goalkeeper actually be level with defenders outside the box to do this.

@blurgh123 Fern is 17 in this chapter. She turned 16 a little less than two years prior (27 years after Himmel's death; see chapter 4). She isn't 18 yet because she's supposed to be younger than Stark (see chapter 13).

@moozooh I think it’s definitely a possibility though. When the foreign guys visited the facility, they were specifically speaking about soldiers that they awakened and the school teachers asked how they were doing. Since the school considers the students to be some sort of product, they call...

I think another big clue for their being a time difference is the fact that the kids are supposed to be soldiers. It’s kind of hard to think that people would be even waging high-tech warfare given the post-apocalyptic landscape. If you take into context that war is one of the theories for the...

@NoraDaimio I just feel there are a lot of things that make more sense if they were going on at different times. Since the goal of the school seems to be creating super soldiers for outside groups, the implication is that wars are still happening. Given the state of society, it doesn’t make...

@NoraDaimio I’m re-reading parts of it and from what I’ve found Maru is trying to find “another person” with the same face as him and not a specifically a kid so it could be theoretically an older Tokio. His exact job is actually to provide this someone with medicine to cure them from a disease...

Can someone remind me if there’s anything that says these two stories are happening at the same time? I get a sense that maybe there’s some non-linear storytelling going on but I might have missed something that contradicts that. Also, I found some nice foreshadowing earlier on...

@elfalas What the hell are you talking about? The way you talk makes it sound like women are some abstract theoretical concept rather than, you know, people. Also, where the hell is your proof about medical research? Women are less likely to participate in early stage clinical research but...
