I did like the timeline, and the look into Tom's past and adventures.
Spoiler
I was a bit disappointed in Marion's reveal, and how little importance she seemed ot have at the end. Like Tom's purpose for four hundred years was finding her... and then she leaves? And he starts another family? I thought that was strange. I would have much preferred if Tom said his goodbye's to Camille and reconnected with albas to build a real community with people who are going to live forever.Graphic: Death, Alcoholism, Sexual harassment, Colonisation, and Death of parent
Moderate: Suicide attempt
