aria/aqua honestly has some of the best worldbuilding out there, because it asks "what value will tradition have in the future?"
The chapter on nostalgia for something you're experiencing for the first time is what drives this home, and is relevant to today; in the face of technology permeating every facet of our lives, why do we seek out or romanticize doing things the old fashioned way?
I still remain unconvinced by President Aria (the cat)'s chapters, they are way too slapstick and clash hard with the meditative tone of the rest.
