Mickey finally fell asleep, the perfection of imperfections

Actually, I think Mickey ended up pretending to be asleep. Regardless of the late animation and comics, Mickey is also a little unmotivated to combat. It just wants to survive, and it is of the same race, so there is no reason to take the initiative to kill other parasitic beasts. The concept of the male protagonist is a little behind Mickey's. Because it is the same body, Mickey, who is the sub-body, is going to be the male protagonist. The male protagonist has been improving, but at the cost of "loss". Every great progress of the male protagonist is accompanied by pain. In general, the arrival of the parasitic beast has caused the male protagonist to lose his entire family. This is probably a hurdle that the male protagonist cannot erase. The asynchrony of concepts also confirms that they cannot coexist for a long time as close friends in peaceful times. After killing, you either enjoy killing, or your heart is repulsive and tired. In order for the male protagonist not to continue to participate in similar battles, he is worried that the male protagonist will lose his beloved (Satomi) again. His girlfriend is not going to be with the "monster". So in general, Mickey still chose to "retire". In fact, Mickey is still quite chilling to some human behaviors, after all, Mickey is also constantly evolving. The more you know, the more you can feel the ugliness of human nature and your own situation. So are people. If the luck is not good, the values ​​and worldview will even make a living body unhappy. Whether compared with people or his clan, there is no doubt that Mickey is very good. From the beginning of the comics, Mickey came up with a few words from time to time that he could not understand human beings. Later, he directed the male protagonist, and he traced his origins, thinking about human beings, the environment, the meaning of life, etc. Growth and eagerness to learn have made him already aware of the kind of human beings. biological too. Therefore, he will not engage in confrontation with human beings like his clansmen, or engage in ecological balance. Because he knows that he is no match for humans. Even, he wouldn't do anything to provoke humans. The smarter the creature, the more tiring, the greater the burden, the more careful, so I think Mickey has a lot of scruples and helplessness in the later stage. On the one hand, he is smart and can predict too many things. Satomi's last sentence was deliberately said to be considerate to Shinichi, indicating that she didn't mind Mickey because we were "three people". And Satomi's words just reveal that Mickey in the author's pen is not really willing to "retire", it is just the fulfillment of love and reason. Everyone wants to survive and do what they like to do, whether human or monster or animal. This open-ended ending, which can be imagined by others, is probably the best ending if they can understand each other. The manga I read 10 years ago and the animation I watched 10 years later, the animation has some reductions, but it is basically the same as the manga. And I think about a lot more than before. Mickey is inexplicably liked, actually
