I just felt like I could be something else.

When I was creating the fanlisting all those years ago, I played around with many different titles. In the end, I decided to use the same one that Europa did since it fit the series so well: Are we really alive? Brought together by the emptiness they feel in their own lives, that question is one that Shinobu and Nishino struggle to answer. It's a question that many peopleā€”young and oldā€”return to throughout their lives, I think. The finale of Kokoro Kikai provides no clear answer to it, but it does provide a comforting thought: none of us have to bear our burdens on our own, for none of us are truly alone.
