I'm surprised that the simulation didn't crash again while they were holding hands, apparently that kind of lewd stuff was already programmed and bug-tested.
So the simulation is like a fish tank, makes sense. The fact they only get out until they're about to get eaten is a worrisome metaphor, I hope Chito and Yuuri stay there forever.

Whereas this story normally meanders along at its own languid and surreal pace, lately I have been getting the feeling it's building towards something monumental and many of the signs of what it is building towards are quite ominous. The fishtank metaphor is one of the more troubling indicators I've seen lately. Reality has begun to crack, and the occupants of the fish tank are getting their first glimpses of what lies beyond and they are afraid.
I continue to be convinced that the simulation is some kind of bardo and that everybody there has already died at least once. It's interesting to me that things in the world continue to get more unsettling and chaotic even as the emotional heart of the story starts to come more into focus.
Still wondering how the original doujin and the serialization are connected.
