I really like your theories! I shared a couple with a friend and we discussed them till 3 am. They were that good haha. Anyway, I would like to ask what is your opinion on the differents ships the fandom has (always in a platonic way, of course), and if you believe we ever going to get some sort of confirmation. Oh! And you think RayxEmma has any chance? I'm crossing fingers xD Thank you for your hard work!

Thank you very much! I am always really happy to hear that my theories and metas inspire others to think more deeply about TPN! I think that this is such an amazing series!

In terms of shipping, first and foremost I think:

Everyone should be allowed to enjoy the ships that they like

I am really against shipping wars, I don’t think there is any reason to attack anyone based on their shipping preferences. So in my opinion, all ships are valid.

In terms of likelihood of ships becoming canon, I think there are some analyses you can do to try to figure out what the authors may intend to do.

I think Shirai and Posuka are both very consistent and logical in their story writing, so if they intend to confirm any ships, they would lay hints in the story for them.

So in that sense I do want to point out the contrast we see between how they portray the relationship between Ray and Emma vs Norman and Emna.

Out of these three, we only have verbal confirmation about Norman’s romantic feelings towards Emma.

For Ray and Emma, we need to rely on body language and visual portrayal if we want try to infer the author’s intent on their feelings.

So let’s compare two iconic scenes that are parallel situations, but framed completely differently.

In both scenes, Emma is injured, and comforted by someone holding her hand at her bedside.

In the first scene, we see a private moment between Emma and Norman only. This looks like an intimate moment that a couple may share.

In the second scene, we see the whole family surrounding Emma and Ray. This looks like a family moment.

I think the difference in framing is very intentional. There is every reason for all the kids to worry as well about Emma in the first scene as well, but the authors still chose to show a private, rather than a family moment in that case.

There is also a distinct difference between the way Ray and Norman touches Emma in more recent scenes, once they are older.

Both of them are very close to her, and both care deeply about her, yet their body language is shown as very different.

We know that Norman has romantic feelings for Emma, so the way he touches Emma reflects that, and he touches her intimately by cupping her face tenderly, or holding her hands gingerly. These are not touches that would be done between people who viewed each other as siblings.

The way Ray touches Emma is also with familiarity, but all his touches would be acceptable between siblings who are close. Sibling love is also important, but it’s a different sort of love to a romantic one.

In terms of how Emma feels, we have other clues as well. When she talks about Norman, there are shojou bubbles around her, implying that she has some softer than usual feelings. We don’t see anything like that when she talks about anyone else.

Plus when Emma almost dies at Goldy Pond, she sees Norman in the depth of her subconscious, and he is shown again to touch her very tenderly even IN HER IMAGINATION. I think it’s very significant that her subconscious imagines Norman tenderly holding her hands, and I think it heavily implies that she has some special feelings for him that she is not aware of consciously.

The final nail in the coffin, so to speak, in my opinion is this image in chapter 128 that looks exsctly like a stock wedding art I grabbed off google.

Even if you don’t take it as a clever way to foreshadow a Noremma wedding in the future, the message is clear: Ray only holds the shoulders of Norman and Emma, like a sibling would, but Emma and Norman hold hands like couples would.

In terms of Ray ships, the one I find interesting is Ray x Anna. My reasoning is that if my Peter Pan reference theory is correct, they are both a reference to the same character, but just two sides of the same coin.

That seems very poetic to me, although I think atm Anna is still too young for a Ray x Anna to be developing, but it may be a ship that gets confirmed in an epilogue in my opinion. Plus both of them are very private people, so I doubt their pda would be shown onscreen unlike Norman and Emma who just keep being very obvious about it.

As a bonus point, I think Ray took notice of Anna in a different light for the first time when she sacrificed her hair for his sake. I think that’s a good basis to have things later develop from, as I doubt Ray would ever forget that. He seemed super shocked and touched she would do that for him.

So… Uh… I did math and found Ray’s real birthdate

Addition to the theory | Theory debunked

He is the same age as Norman and Emma, just younger than we would expect. From what I calculated, he is born the 5th of February.

Also I know the birthday of every children who were born between Ray’s and Emma’s birthday. And the production that Grace Field afforded during 20 years. I can also probably guess when Grace Field was founded and as such when the promise was made.

I just want to precise that I do not work in the commercial field (I’m actually a high school art student) and that I’m pretty average in math. So I can be wrong.

It’s actually pretty easy to guess if you check their Numbers.

(From the second volume)

They seem to have a similar pattern don’t they ? It’s a friend of mine who gave me the solution while reading volume 4 :

Do you see those numbers over the babies ? Now… What if we inverted them ?

81194 becomes 49118. And 91194 becomes 49119.

Hey, seems that they number them with logic ! Now, let’s assume that they numbered them depending on when they were born. Then, Ray is the 49118th child born at Grace Field.

It’s an industry, they probably produce food on a regular basis. So now, let’s check Norman’s and Emma’s numbers and birth date !

Norman : 22194, so 49122. He is born the 21st of March.

Emma : 63194, so 49136. She is born the 22nd of August.

As such, Ray who is the 49118th child is older than both Norman and Emma (which is not a surprise). What is interesting is the numbers that separate each of them. Between Norman and Emma there is a difference of 14.

Norman is 154 days older than Emma.

154 / 14 = 11

I did say that cattle children were produced on a regular basis, well, they produce a child every 11 days. All of them are born in 2034, let’s check if it’s a leap year :

2034 / 4 = 508.5

Well then it’s not, so there is 28 days in February.

Ray and Norman have a difference of 4 in their Numbers.

4 x 11 = 44

So Ray is 44 days older than Norman.

21st of March - 44 days = 5th of February.

Boom ! We got his real birthday ! Yay ! But that basically means that Ray was still 11 during the evasion. And congratulations to all Aquarius ! You share the same sign as him ! (Why all the aquarius I know are somehow depressed ?)

Anyway ! I bet you’re still here to know more about what I calculated, well :

Between Isabella (73584) and Ray they produced 581 babies in 20 years.

Between Isabella and Krone (18684) they produced 144 babies. (Which confirms that Isabella is 5 years older than Krone)

Grace Field produce 29 to 33 babies per year (very approximative).

It is likely possible that Grace Field was founded in 396 A.D.

Fun fact : Baby 83184 is born the 13th of September… still need to check if it’s a Friday.

Anyway, that’s all for now. Thanks for reading ! (Sorry for my English it’s not my mothertongue.)

“Then he would lie on his back on the grass and gaze up, with a pleasurable sense of fatigue, at the blue sky in all its clarity, height, and breadth. At times he would suddenly feel himself to be a mere speck between earth and sky, and wonder why in heaven’s name there were such distinctions as [countries and nationalities].”
