Took her home for routine maintenance.
it's a shame that i'll probably never explore these guys' story further. objects is such a pointed piece of fiction that to indulge in the yaoi element would undermine its message. and i'm the kind of dickhead who cares about that.

I always wondered why Shima said it wasn't a good idea for us to shower together... I guess this is why.

Names and their meanings are significant for this character. He never chooses an arbitrary alias.

The Bullet Train project found a strong backer in Shima Yasujiro, chairman of the Railway Trunk Line Investigatory Committee of the Showa 10s. He was father of Shima Hideo, who's more famous as the father of mainline EMUs and of the Shinkansen trains.
TIL in this great Substack article that earliest plans for Shinkansen was as early as 1939, and the Imperial Government was buying up land for Tokaido during WWII. Then-Japanese Government Railways bought ROW land dirt cheap thanks to the US bombings jrurbanenetwork.substack.com/p/shinkansen...
Shinkansen... We also need. 新幹綫~ 我們也要有。
China and Japan operate an ever complex and frequent HSR system. The environment surrounding the births of their systems can be similar and different at the same time.

terminei shima kousaku!
que mangá bom! impressionante o quão expansivo é nos temas que trata e quão fundo vai em cada um. denso em conteúdo mas não cansativo, uma maturidade de verdade em como explora os personagens e a relação deles com a sociedade, mas ainda com espaço pra melodrama de qualidade

I'm quite literally *waiting* to be proven wrong. Partway through last night, I was like "okay, no new sword lore, pack it up" only for the new Jenova track to have a blink-and-you'll-miss-it BotBB leitmotif.
And that was Shima, so it almost definitely wasn't a coincidence.
