Like You Were Dying: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

* While not actually on the verge of death himself, due to a tragic accident during his childhood that claimed his parents and grandmother, Arihiko Inui was painfully aware that death could come at any moment. Luckily for him, he becomes friends with a certain [[Tsukihime|Shiki Tohno]], a boy who really ''was'' commonly on the verge of death when he was younger, but whose maturity and philosophical outlook were far beyond his years...

* In the [[D.N.Angel]] manga it's found out that the people in {{spoiler|Hiwatari's}} family have short lifespans, and he doesn't have much longer to live. However, at the same time, he notes that Daisuke was the only person who gave him joy in life.

* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' plays with it some, uniquely in a way. {{spoiler|Sheryl Nome gets hit with [[Your Days Are Numbered]] thanks to an [[Incurable Cough of Death]] in the second half of the series, and Alto Saotome ([[Will They or Won't They|finally]]) ends up getting romantically involved with her after he finds out. There is a subtext to this that it might all be something of an act that the two of them are playing out, ignoring all other considerations just for Sheryl's sake. Sheryl even tries to let Alto off like this, presumably so he'd be free to chase after her rival in the [[Love Triangle]] in their last talk before the [[Final Battle]], but we never find out what Alto had to say about that, as Sheryl gives him a [[Shut Up Kiss]], declaring that no matter what he said, she wouldn't be able to sing (It's a Macross, music is [[The Power of Rock|VERY IMPORTANT]]). The series ends promptly after the [[Final Battle]] without Alto ever finishing what he was going to say}}. As you might have guessed from the wall of spoiler text, it's complicated, and this is [[~~Door Stopper~~|the short version]]. Still, it's clear that Character Two was very important to Character One.
