• Haibane may only own used things. Where did Reki get her paints from?
  • Consumable items (like paint and food) don't count for the "used items" rule.
  • Though as any painter will tell you, having to use old brushes would suck.
  • Many consumables are possibly declared used in some ceremonial way and are brought via the Touga's caravans. Considering Reki also smokes, and the town doesn't look large enough to supply itself perpetually.
• Why is everyone so emotionally choked up by the Day Of Flight? I understand it could be interpreted as a metaphor for death, but unlike death, where there's some ambiguity, the Day Of Flight seems to point to an actual passage to a better place.
  • A friend is still gone forever. Their fate is uncertain, and the fact that you'll never be able to say what you feel is the right thing is bound to put a knot in someone's throat.
