Now, back to the sharing of random songs within my comic atmosphere playlist and what they mean within the context of Phantom Forces to absolutely no one [Slight Spoilers if you read between the lines] This is the ending theme to an anime called The Tatami Galaxy It is also the song I listen to when thinking about Silver’s story within the Phantom Forces AU. At this moment, only the set up has revealed itself in the story.
As a recap, Silver enters the story falling through the sky, yet something seems very off about the whole situation. How did he get in the air? Why is he here? Why is his hand backwards?
Once landing, a massive [something] seems to occur, warping the world around him into a different location, a town having a celebration. He seems unsure as to how he’s here, this wasn’t the place he intended to land.
And yet, here he is. He meets with Amy who is also surprised but happy to see a familiar face, and is dragged into a conflict with a giant Eggman Robot. Luckily, Silver and Amy make a really great team and they save the little town. Everything is going to be fine.
This song, like all the songs in the playlist, is used to help me keep track of how I would like his story to feel, like being pulled in different directions and sent spiraling through someone else’s story. Unfortunately, this sense of confusion is bound to continue as Silver’s story continues, leaving him isolated in a space filled with people he cares about. The clock is ticking at an odd rhythm and we’ll have to sit and watch as Silver learns this the hard way.
His story has already been written and there is but one ending.
