And the ghosts

In which I start the year by going back to my perennial love: Simoun.

My challenge for this week was: "Never again" (first words).

This is a return to episodes 15 and 16, focused on Dominuura and Rimone. Right after Dominuura breaks down from seeing the past/future in the Simoun's engine, and following her recovery up until they complete the Emerald Ri Maajon, sending them back in time. Dominuura who had to accept that what she never wanted to happen again... was always going to happen and she had to make it happen. The Pair that was fated to meet, and never again would be seen by their friends.

These episodes are full of bittersweet last meetings which could have fitted the challenge too, but I focused on the Pair's fate.

A one sentence / one icon challenge with 30 prompts!

I used Table A with two wildcards from Table B: "stairs" instead of "leaves" and "wrong" instead of "lucky". Prompts are in the images' titles.
Ep 1 to 10.


This rewatch is unexpectedly emotional. I love these idiots so much.
Some additional explanations:

• Easy: this is from Rimone's flashback episode, when she thinks this is too easy, right before committing the fatal error that will kill her partner.
• Talk: same episode but back into present, silent communication with aaeru that enables her to reach her decision and complete the Ri Maajon.
• Time: Onashia transcends time and is basically one with it.
• Angel: mostly on imagery, as Simoun doesn't have angels. But Onashia is what comes closest.
• Number: this Ri Maajon that requires 6 Simoun to be completed has been used twice (Ep 9 and 10) to signify the unexpected return of a missing part of the Chor, here to save the day.
