all your posts have made me want to rewatch vice versa dammit. Lowkey been avoiding bc I love the series but omg I need to skip the ending.... I hate friend groups splitting up, and they get zero explanation, don't even know their friends were swapped like.

I'm really hoping Our Sky does something to fix bc Talay and Puen legit ditched them and it's my biggest frustration with the show

ACTUAL DEPICTION OF ME RN MY EVIL PLAN IS WORKING!!!!!!

but i do understand how you feel about friend groups splitting up, especially in vice versa where you come to love up, aou, fuse and kita so much. i honestly can't rewatch the scene where puen and talay say goodbye to them without tearing up because it's just TOO PAINFUL. this is the tragedy of universal travelling though: you get to build all these relationships and share all these moments with people, but in the end they don't really belong to you. you're borrowing someone else's body, someone else's life, and there really isn't any satisfying ending to it. that's the lesson puen had to learn too: he could have chosen to stay in the alternate universe as tun, where he had a loving family and devoted friends, but it wouldn't have been right, not only towards tun himself, but also towards those same family and friends he came to care about. even if you run away from it, your life is still your life, and you're gonna have to face it sooner or later

and don't get me wrong, of course i do wish up and aou could remember puen and talay as who they are and not as tess and tun, but at the same time i wonder if it would make things any better. right now, puen and talay are the ones carrying all the pain of leaving: people in the alternate universe will never know they're missing someone, because they don't know the switch happened in the first place. if they did, they would have to carry that burden too, because unless the two universes collided they will always be separated, and on top of that they would also have to deal with the fact that someone they cared about went missing for years and that they never realized it

this is why i don't think we're ever gonna get a proper closure on this matter, because even the best possible ending is still heartbreaking. and i definitely can see how this may be upsetting, but i also think there's some beauty in it, in having met someone that, whether you know it or now, changed your life for the better

im not sure this helped in any way ;;;;; but i do hope that one day you'll be able to rewatch the show!!!! (and maybe let me know about it if you do!!!)
