    As much as the Yosuga no Sora fan in me would love it to be otherwise, I’m pretty sure Ruby’s romantic feelings for the doctor will vanish in an instant if she ever learns his current identity.

      I’m sure the whole thing of the two of them knowing each other’s identities was avoided so it can be a big story point later, but seriously, how have they gone so long without talking about it? They both know that they were reincarnated, and for years they were each the only person the other could talk to. I know Ruby pretended to be someone older to appear more senior, but how did Aqua at no point mention that he was a doctor, or that he knew Ai previously?

        Yes, that element of the show is remarkably contrived. Imagine living with another person for 15 years, with a shared experience that is literally physical evidence of the supernatural. And you don’t…talk about it? To try and determine the nature of what happened to you or if you have some kind of shared quality that maybe explained how or why it happened? Really? I mean, anime fans complain incessantly about how much they hate artificial drama derived from misunderstandings that can be cleared up by a 30 second conversation and this right here is like the atomic bomb equivalent of that.

          Yeah, that’s definitely a plot point that I’ve had to file under “Just don’t think about it.” It’s totally unjustifiable logically, so I don’t bother trying.

            I’m definitely happy to accept the explanation of “this is what the author wanted to do to make the story happen” as the definitive explanation for it. It’s a work of creative fiction. Some elements just need to exist for the sake of the story actually happening and being entertaining. It’s just annoying because it’s a decent show and that particular element kinda glares at you. I’d imagine it’s one of those things that’ll be significantly less pleasant to deal with on rewatches, since your brain will be screaming “this entire subplot hinges on these two assholes being pathologically incapable of basic human communication” at certain points.
