Chapter 84

Resonance (共鳴, Kyōmei) is the 84th chapter of the Fumetsu no Anata e manga.

Summary
Back on the ship, Fushi is lost in thought about what the sickly woman said to him about controlling people. He doesn't notice the Doki girl come up behind him until she pulls on his sleeve. He apologizes to her and says they should eat something.

Fushi creates a variety of sweets and the Doki girl examines the food curiously, then grabs a fistful of a pie and eats it. Fushi asks her if it's good and tells her it's Uralis' cuisine. She stares blankly at him. Fushi tries to make conversation and asks her what her name, and again, she doesn't respond. Fushi summons out a map and asks her if she knows where she came from. She starts to rummage for something as Fushi guesses that he doesn't understand her. She pulls out a pot covered in dirt and places it on the table. Fushi figures that she's silent because her brother just passed. Fushi gets an idea and transforms into Joaan and asks her if she likes animals. She instantly freaks out at the sight of Joaan. He quickly changes into the mole and a Kaniflower crab, until he transforms into Meer which the girl seems to love. She hugs Fushi, as Meer, and Fushi feels like he's finally getting through to her.

Fushi takes her around the ship and shows her the various animals on board. He shows her a kitty and asks her if she knows what it is. She finally speaks and calls the cat "'iddy." Fushi corrects her and tells her it's "kitty" and not "'iddy" but she insists on the latter. Fushi decides then that he'll call her "Iddy." While Iddy plays with the kitty, Fushi wonders what he should do with her. He wonders if he could even recreate the ship if he can't even understand her. He notices that she's covered in dirt and thinks to get her clean clothes. Fushi transforms into Rean and tells her he has to borrow her clothes. He cuts and sews a new dress for Iddy from Rean's dress. He then figures Iddy should take a bath first. Fushi grabs Iddy, puts her in a tub, and scrubs her down. Iddy gets into her new dress and Fushi gives her a haircut. Fushi thinks back to the sickly woman's words.

Iddy comes up to Fushi with her pot and stares at him. He tells her he has stuff to do and to play over there.

Outside the ship, Fushi summons a rowboat into the water. He can't stop thinking about the sickly woman's words. He reflects back on March, Tonari, and Bonchien. They all saved people with no intent to control them.

Fushi suddenly feels a pain in his head and rushes to Iddy's side. She's laying on the ground and he asks where she fell from. She points to a hole in the ceiling. Fushi asks her if she was trying to fix it and to not worry about it since he can take care of it.

Fushi then thinks about why he has the power to sense pain. He decides it's to save people. He feels like their pain is like his own, like they were a part of him this whole time. Fushi comes to a realization and suddenly transforms into Iddy's deceased younger brother to her shock. In the hands of Iddy's brother is a pot similar to hers. Fushi hears thumping come from it and a feeling flows into him from the pot. Suddenly, a flow of memories of him from Iddy's point-of-view washes over him. He realizes these are feelings of concern for him and that the Doki communicate through these pots. Fushi transforms back into the Nameless Boy and thanks Iddy for her concern for him. He then realizes what the Beholder meant when he said Fushi needed awareness; not making things "his" but realizing it already is a part of him — they're all one. He then determines he has to apply that feeling to the ship to be able to recreate it.

Fushi spreads vines around the ship all connected to him. From the ends of these vines he can create objects. Although he hasn't fully become one with the ship, he believes it'll help him feel the ship better. A storm hits the ship one day and Fushi sits alone, concentrating on his vines. He can sense all things happening around and on the ship. From the ends of his vines he creates pears and drops them for the animals aboard. From his body he creates more vines covering the entire ship with it. Two weeks pass and Bonchien and Kahaku head out to find Fushi since they haven't heard from him in a while. They wander through the forest noting that it feels endless. They come across a dining table in the middle of the forest to their surprise. Fushi's voice from above greets them and he tells them to head up the forested stairs to find him.

They head up and find Fushi covered in vines. Bonchien notes it's like Fushi made his own planet.
