The Big O: The Final Act - Act 32: Out Of The Blue

Afterword

Hello and Good Day Everyone!

On all the platforms I have posted so far, the previous act has nearly 100 views at this point in time. And that love is amazing! Thank you all so very much for your continued support. And, if you're new to the series, welcome! It's a pleasure to meet you! I hope you enjoy reading it! =)

I think this act was mainly about decisions that the characters have made up to this point. You have Lucille, now starting to doubt what she has done, Dorothy who calls herself a fool to the news of being pregnant, but later changes her mind when she sees Roger's joy at the news. You have Roger, not regretting his actions, but understanding where Dorothy was coming from a few acts ago in terms of expecting kids when the fate of the world is not so certain at this point in time, but having hope all the same that it will get better. And then you have Angel, who not only expressed concern for an entity that was not human, but ran to protect her from the danger they were both facing, despite risking her own life. However, this action appears again, only causing pain and isolation to those who care about her. And in the end, despite having noble actions, it's her rash thinking that allows herself to drop her guard and get caught by the enemy.

They say the most successful people act on decisions without thinking them over because they know what they want. And in many ways, that is true. Especially for Roger. He does not hesitate to act when the time comes. However, Roger is human and humans are social creatures. Although he has been a loner in anime, and in the manga, I think it's in the manga where you see Roger constantly reach out, seeking companionship in other women, but getting turned down. And, the one that does not turn him away, but seeks him, in order to help her find her father, and for protection, is Dorothy. While Roger finds a new strength in her, in a way, he finds a new weakness as well. Doubt, worry, and yet, they are rooted in a love and care that can only come from being her protector.

Now, Dorothy was always strong. I mean, she can punch through brick walls and throw men like they are nothing. But with Dorothy now being human and having all the same vulnerabilities as a human, I think those worries are amplified, especially after them nearly being successful once in kidnapping and destroying Dorothy as an android. What can Roger do, knowing that at some point, the enemy will come back for her? What can he do to protect her, especially if he can't be there?

But despite all of these emotions he's feeling, one thing is for certain. Roger is more determined than ever to protect Dorothy Wayneright, no matter what or perhaps the costs. They have always been together, weathering everything that has been thrown at them. But now? Well, I guess you're gonna have to read the next act to find out just how determined Roger is to protect the woman he loves.

Until next time friends!

Love,
