i don't know why, but I think Maquia (when the promised flower blooms) is a really relatable story. Ofc I'm not immortal or a long lived elf, but I do relate to Maquia a lot. In the sense that I feel like everyone I know will be nothing more than a brief appearance in my life. And I have accepted that even if it's sometimes painful to think about.
Maybe it's because I don't have meaningful family outside of my mother. Maybe it's also because my ex cut ties with me after knowing each other for 10years, and it somehow feels normal. Maybe it's because after 10 years in France I have nothing left of New Caledonia. I also cut ties with "friends" myself.
