some notes:
there's not much that kim kitsuragi says about how he was raised; according to him he was orphaned as a baby after his parents were killed in the revolution.
organized religions in elysium share aspects with those of the real world (churches, for one), but are also so different that whether nuns are a thing to begin with are personally beyond me at the moment. all this to say that i could've drawn his parents, but a nun holding a baby seemed more compelling anyway.
tl;dr - why's there a nun? i made it up
also borrowing from an interpretation in the fandom that kim's visual impairment will get worse as he ages, and so he will eventually need to use a white cane. next to him is the protagonist of DE, on a kinder path, with a less hysterical stat distribution, and a walking cane to aid in his mobility issues. the two of them have stopped in the middle of their afternoon walk, fishing for a pack of smokes to share. they get to grow old and be happy in MY mind palace where they narrowly escape a nuclear holocaust, thank you very much |
Lovely stuff
