Life on Mars
Thus, in Episode 3, spoke Kanako unto Yumi:
Before, I told you a hypothetical story about the two twins who became astronauts and went to Mars, didn't I? ... I can't meet the Yumi-sama I had admired. That person is living on Mars. Yumi-sama, you didn't betray the image and feelings I had of you. When I was reunited with Yuuko-senpai, I realized that she might have been like those twins. The senpai I used to admire is alive on Mars right now... She's at the same place as Yumi-sama.
Yumi found it romantic but I thought it ever so slightly scary. Go Kanako! A place in Hosaka's Valhalla awaits you!
In Erica's taxonomy of Fan delusion, Kanako is way up there. While she eventually recognized her delusion, she did not turn back from being a Yumi Fan to a Yumi fan but went on to pierce the heavens by layering another layer of delusion with Yumi On Mars Fandom.
But I suppose I was taking her too literally; it's a nice way to make peace with herself and to be able to continue to live on Earth. I do kinda miss Kanako even though I'm not surprised at how completely she's faded from the anime henceforth.
And why is it Mars? BBC series aside, I thought it would've been Venus. *shakes fist at John Gray*
