Sulla’s transition has been continuous! She and Brendan have been upgrading and modifying her body over time. As a trans person myself, that’s highly relatable. Transition wasn’t an instant, it’s a whole life of figuring out what works best for me.
Yup, she and Brendan discuss their continuous improvements and bugs (a glitchy ankle iirc) when she’s trying to get up the courage to come out to him, and then there’s the big upgrade of flight
Brendan’s echoing what he said when Al seriously flinched at the idea of a relationship after their first night together (and also doing the opposite of what inspired Al to disappear into the woods by the river). He’s getting through to Al the same way Al got through to him by repeating ‘are you just going to stand there?’.
The word “mistake” is such a striking motif, and Al has such strong responses to it every time. I wonder if it’s something they were told as a child. See also: http://ohumanstar.com/comic/chapter-7-page-43/
Thats such a lovely, romantic gesture, said in the geekiest way possible. No matter how many revisions or patches we compile, youll still be the 01 for me.
I’ve been waiting on my new body since 2016, and now I gotta wait for the next page of the comic, and in both cases I’m both terrified with fear and alive with hope for what’s going to happen. . .let’s say I know where Al’s at.
The fact that their love transcends both life, death, and now transitioning? That’s beautiful and it just makes me insanely happy.
Did it take years for Sulla? Or is Al’s case different?
I guess that, in Sulla’s case, as she was still growing up, there was the usual adjusting, troubleshooting and optimizing – a.k.a. adolescence.
If we assume Sulla ‘ages’ at a normal rate, then yes.

I had the impression that Brendan simply changed the design of her next body, and that’s the one she still uses.

*sigh* So sweet… Projecting them being together for years!!!
(its my first comment on the days page in years)
The background is that Brendan has spent these years growing up, and now he is a true adult! Mazal tov!

Oh my gosh, he IS echoing what he said that day. T_T Blue, you’re so good at callbacks.
Agreed! :D
I only just realised what I might like the very most about this page though: the first two panels show us Al looking up.

These two… my heart <3
I am so happy to see these two being a team again.
Making me want to cry like a little baby ; __ ;
Oh! I love the framing of the first panel. Like Al is slowly looking up.
He’ll always be there even if he has to upload into a different chassis.
This is so beautiful I want to cry.
So beautiful! By the way: Is Sullas new Body an indication that they will both choose artificial aging over staying as they are, basicially immortal?
Propoooooose aaaaaaa
Wish I had someone like Brendan in my life…

I’m gonna cry, I love them both SO much, with all my heart 😭
I read this whole comic in one sitting today. I have surgery soon and I really, really needed to hear this. Thank you.
