改めて見返すと、アルシエルよりラシェーラの方が女性の社会的地位が高い気がします。象徴的なのがこの場面。最高権力者の皇帝が女性なのは無論、先遣隊のリーダーも女性なんですね。安易に男性にしないところに感心しました。
Watching over the story now, I think women's position in the society of Ra Ciela is higher than that in Ar Ciel. This scene is symbolic. Not only Empress, paramount of the government, is a woman, a leader of the research team is a woman as well. I was impressed staffs didn't let the leader be a man easily.
Ion:
To your worthy courage, I pray for the grace of Ra Ciela.
