This really did a number on me.
I am currently questioning my own sexuality and whether or not I really do/can feel attracted to someone of the same sex as me and what that will be like in the future... I felt like I could relate to Akira so heavily (even though I'm a teenage girl) when it came to thoughts about the future and my possible future partner. It's such a scary thought because it isn't considered "normal" to be attracted to the same sex or anyone a part of the LGBTQIA+ community... this really was an eye opener for me... Also, because I come from a religious background (Christian) the thought of what happens after death scares me so much. It was so nice to see these two meet again and be together even in death. It just brought tears to my eyes and a weight to my chest. It made me feel valid in a way, but also made me think, am I allowed to feel this happiness too?
