    Was there not some time traveling component? Like their future selves had to find each other again and come back ti their childhoods. I thought that was what made the “children having sex” part not as triggering as it sounds,because they were actually adults. Mind you, it’s been years since I read the book. I might be misremembering things.

          Ah, the classic anime workaround.

          “Nigomichisichason is technically 1000 years old so when I jerk it to Rule 34 fan art, I’m not actually jerking it to anime of a kid even though she looks and acts exactly like one”

      No, it is even more bizarre. They have sex because the group is lost in the sewer and apparently this makes them know where they are, somehow, so they can leave, which they then do. It adds literally nothing to the plot, apart from really shoddy symbolism of growing up.
