Xenogears | E18: Dry, Crumbly Conversation [Escape Ignas + Adrift at Sea]

Life is a movie that flashes back between floating platforms and floating ships. Between these dire circumstances we're evaluating Fei's exclusive friendship with portrait characters, sorting out the Ministry's latest AOL keywords, noting Bart and Rico's mutual admiration, learning some Gear aesthetic choices, watching Fei's miserable attempts to fish with his bare hands, accepting more Shevat revelations, and trying to find common ground in Fei and Elly's mutually assured destruction. Citan isn't a man, he's a concept. And we may be him. Precarious, ominous, whateverous - it's OK not to feel whole.
