Here's my theory.Kasei is Mado's Mother... Perhaps her constant empathy for tragic events in Mado's life imprinted an image of her constantly crying from one eye. The foot-like image can represent some sort of terrible death she experienced. (Mado's last image of her mother was her uncovered leg in the hospital, riddled with gangrene)After (Or before) Kasei's death, her Father (Let's call him Kyu), may have... well, raped her. This may have been a very good reason for Mado to become depressed, causing her to reason out the rape as "I'm responsible for mom dying some-how, that's why he did it" or something like that. However, if this occurred before Tasei dying, then perhaps he had a mental disorder... The constant "rub" of the metal pipe may have been something Kyu was constantly doing to pre-occupy himself.

Might explain FACE.
I actually REALLY like this theory.Could be that her dad was OCD?

I think I particularly like this theory because you see Kasei in basically another planet. This could be Mado's view of how the hospital is like: a whole different world compared to how her home life is like ie. the stairs.Without Kasei around to work, I suppose Kyu try to take it upon himself to suppose Mado as best as he could and be the mother and the father. I guess it can only go so far?

>>849Hm, you just gave me something to ponder... Could the white desert be a hospital? That could explain the monochrome, Monoko/Monoe and all the human parts, and another theory gave the idea that Masada rides that Tako whatever thingy that appears flying around the desert, which could make sense since he's monochrome as well.Now going to mars... I get stuck there. Why does it crash? Perhaps When Mado is staying over for the night in the hospital, something happens that causes a ruckus in the hospital and her mother dies as a result?

>>851I think that the monochrome world is possibly only a certain part of the hospital, like near the front where you'd see all sort of people; like a waiting room of sorts. One would have to go through corridors and wind around the building. If I'm to go along with the theory, the Masada would be like a doctor of somesort, escorting Mado through the hospital to a secluse room in the hospital where her mother would be. The crash and the sad (?) lower tone Masada gives could signify a sort of sad result. Maybe she couldn't survive for much longer. When Mado sees her mother, all she could remember is her crying a little and her injury?The whole staying overnight thing could be her staying in the hospital. Dreams that are based off of real events aren't usually in chronological order but most likely what has affected her most.

Hey guys...Imagine your mother in the hospital, at night-time.There is only one doctor on duty.He allows you to stay over-night, as your father cannot stand the sight of you.Your mother is not weeping, her leg does all of that for her.The leg has been consumed by gangrene, she is scheduled to be operated upon quickly; but not quickly enough.The gangrene has progressed enough that the bacteria in her leg cause gas bubbles.There is a large abscess above her kneecap, full of putrid blood invaded by the bacteria.It ruptures.You hear the beeping of the instruments signaling something has gone wrong.Your mind goes blank as you scream for help.The doctor comes in with a terrified look on his face.You get out of the bed and enter her room. The equipment is foreign and intimidating to you.You see what has happened.You wake up in your bed, feeling cold.-OP Last edited 10/04/23(Fri)21:23.

>>862Seeing this, it may have been that the leg has been amputated and Mado's mother has changed since then. Perhaps she got more depressed or refuses to see Mado as well. Mado may start to recognize the leg as having more of her mother's love than the woman. Despite having a diseased form, she'll still sit next to the leg and look at it.

>>864>depressed or refuses to see Mado as wellMaybe she was on heavy painkiller after the amputation and got addicted to it.

omg OP, that is sooooooo close to what i was going to post as a theory, i'm glad i read through it first. i was going to say though that it was poniko that was mado's mother who was mentally ill and allowed mado to be raped by her father (who isn't represented as a character per se but as the thing in the back ground after uboa). i was going to go on to say that the lack of interest that poniko shows was something that hinted towards that and that uboa is how mado saw her mom when she didn't nothing to stop it. the change in expression on uboa seems to show some confused concern. i think that maybe kyukyu could have represented her father and that FACE is how she saw her father afterwards (as opposed to being gentle and comforting as kyukyu is). there seems to be a pattern with these events where there is a transition from one extreme to another, like it was all very shocking/traumatic when it happened. i'd like to think that after the events mado was sent to a city to live far away from her family so that she wouldn't be able to tell anyone about what happened, either that or for her own protection. i always thought that masada and kasei represented the same thing or person because masada plays piano and kasei makes piano noises. maybe that was an interest of mado's but she had to leave so suddenly for a new town that he was a heartbroken wreck.ah, that's just my crazy theories.
