Reader’s Question:
I have a question about the movie “Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul.” After the battle with Bondrewd, Reg falls asleep. Since Reg used the Incinerator during the fight, I assume he enters a forced sleep for about two hours afterward. After Reg falls asleep, there’s a
scene where Nanachi and Bondrewd have a conversation, and then Reg wakes up. This suggests that there’s a gap of about two hours between Nanachi and Bondrewd’s conversation and Reg waking up. When Reg wakes up, he sees Nanachi beside him, and he is in a healed state, which implies that Nanachi must have been taking care of him for those two hours. So, what was Riko doing during this time? If she was crying for two hours while thinking about Prushka, does that mean Prushka was struggling with becoming a White Whistle for those two hours? However, I don’t think someone who is so conflicted could become a White Whistle. I also can’t imagine Riko being able to do anything other than cry during this time. I’m really curious about what Riko was doing for those two hours. I haven’t read the original manga. Is this explained in the source material? If anyone knowledgeable could help clarify this, I would greatly appreciate it. I’ve been thinking about it, but I just can’t figure it out…
Delving into “Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul”
As a fan of psychological narratives, I often find myself drawn to the intricate layers of storytelling in films and anime. The question posed about “Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul” really resonated with me, especially as I reflected on the emotional complexity of the characters involved. It’s fascinating how a seemingly straightforward scene can open up a floodgate of interpretations. The crux of the inquiry revolves around what Riko was doing while Reg was in a forced slumber after the intense battle with Bondrewd. The suggestion that Riko was crying for two hours is both heartbreaking and poignant. In moments of grief, it’s so easy to lose oneself in the depths of despair, and I can completely relate to the notion of being immobilized by emotion. I remember a time when I was overwhelmed by stress during finals—coffee cups strewn about like debris from a shipwreck, and all I could do was stare blankly at my notes, feeling utterly defeated. But let’s not overlook the potential significance of those two hours. The user who responded highlighted an intriguing interpretation: that Prushka was still alive during that time, feeling the weight of her impending transformation into a White Whistle. The idea that Prushka was wrestling with her fate while Riko was engulfed in sorrow adds a profound layer to the narrative. It’s almost as if their emotions are intertwined; Riko’s cries echoing through the abyss, while Prushka contemplates her role in this harrowing journey. The notion that Prushka may have had conflicting feelings about becoming a White Whistle is also compelling. It leads us to consider the emotional stakes at play—not just for Riko, but for all the characters involved. I can’t help but think about how often we encounter moments in life where we are faced with choices that define our very essence. There’s a certain beauty in that struggle, a testament to our humanity. What struck me most was the idea that Prushka’s transformation into a ‘Yuuwaasu’ (or “Resounding Stone”) required a surrendering of sorts—a letting go of earthly ties. This notion resonates deeply with our own experiences. I remember when I had to make a tough decision about pursuing my current career path; it felt like a leap into the unknown. The fear of leaving something familiar behind can be paralyzing, yet it’s often in those moments of vulnerability that we discover our true selves. In the end, the emotional interplay between Riko, Reg, and Prushka raises significant questions about attachment, sacrifice, and the nature of adventure. It’s a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is a flicker of hope and a desire for connection that drives us forward. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! What do you think Riko was feeling during that time? Have you ever found yourself in a situation where your emotions felt so overwhelming that they blurred your sense of reality?
