been thinking about the moralintern motto. a blue forget-me-not; a piece of the grey sky.

curiously, kim misquotes it as "a blue forget-me-not, a piece of the sky" - omitting that the sky is 'grey'. this doesn't necessarily have bearing on the rest of the analysis, but it is a very interesting note.

kim's dream was always to be a pilot. maybe a bit of a hopeless dream considering his eyesight, plus the fact that there no longer *is* an air force, but... it's what he dreamed of being. it's how he dresses - probably part of the reason he has so much reverence for his vehicle is a displaced longing to fly.

kim kitsuragi, above all else, wanted to be a pilot - to be a piece of the sky.

and as for the blue forget-me-not...

for jean vicquemare, harry's satellite - his first anchor to the world, before kim - all he wanted was to not be forgotten.

jean-heron vicquemare is a blue forget-me-not, kim kitsuragi a piece of the grey sky.

and harrier du bois?

yea yea yea, I know, I'm down bad for this type of characters hahahah
