At first I was just “YES WE KNOW THE MICHIRU GETS IT”. Then there’s the “Or whatever he is” part, and that’s twice now we’ve had a reference like that. I thought it was maybe just a dash of cruelty the first time, but then this one? And then We Know The Mako’s follow-up of “whatever WE are”. And now I’m thinking it’s not so much a dismissive statement, or even a cruel one. I’m thinking maybe it’s actually legit.

Maybe I was kind of on the right track when I said they’re in a sort of purgatory. That these personas they currently have, “whatever [they] are”, are a temporary, let’s say, container they’ve been poured into. It seems like for a set amount of time, rather than waiting for a particular trigger or event to free them. But that this place, this camp, is like a penalty box they have to survive before being released or reborn or whatever.

Maybe I’m way off. Still, the fact that whatever form they’re in right now, it may not be their “actual” form is, I think, important.
