Welp, that's Svey dead for now, I think. It will be a while before they feel comfortable enough around each other to get over this awkwardness, especially as Sven doesn't really trust his own thinking and behaviour and May really doesn't know how to do serious relationships.

Panel 5 tells the story. They really, really want to be together and are both afraid to be right now. You can see the sadness and longing in their expressions.

They'll probably run into each-other again at some point and suddenly find themselves hanging out all the time without realising it. That's how I see things progressing, anyway.

--- Quote from: Farideh on 18 Nov 2020, 19:51 ---While Hanners does tend to be employed (her counting website when we first met her, and now her job at CoD), she is seen spending money without worrying about it: buying a drum set, getting Winslow a new chassis, travelling around/off the world after she confronted her mother, etc.
--- End quote ---
Her working is more hobbyist and life affirming rather than for money, so trust fund allowance... but her sense of financial worth and influence is moderated a lot. She wants a simple life.
Even the few times where she has offered to put her financial or her family name to something, she was always talked out of it by someone.  (like offering to help out Faye and Bubbles shop, or threatening to get her mother to destroy a business that slighted Martin).  She could of single handily bought May a knew body, but she would of realised that would defeat the purpose of the fund raiser and the rights organisations work... but it would ruin a lot of the story if Hannelore became a blank cheque for every problem.

... but would be odd having one of the richest heiresses in the world, working behind a coffee shop, asking you to donate to charity, to buy a new robot body, that her father is pretty much the patent holder/manufacturer of.

Well you go back to the big chat between them in 4003 when Sven was having is existential moment...

So either that was Sven's rebound, and he can move on to a normal relationship... May can explore her new self which was what she was talking about before being interrupted.
or its just more weird and I wouldn't rule May and Sven, she did chastise him for "over-thinking" casual sex, but May would have to come to that conclusion and make the first move to be consistent with Sven being a better person.

FWIW, I think that a lot of Hannelore's allowance comes from Beatrice and she's very wary of using it, concerned about its ultimate moral provenance.

Besides which, we don't know how much Hanners gave to may. We don't know how much money she's now funnelling into the Advocacy Group either.

Marco:
There is something really wrong with the vocabulary database of Momo's conversation algorithm.
