Macaron

Macaron (マカロン) is a cleaning robot owned by Nana.

## Appearance

Macaron is a disk-shaped robot with glowing dots for eyes on the digital display in the middle of his body. His eyes seem to be able to change color, being shown to be pink and blue in different situations. He is able to blink and display emotion using his eyes.

In If I Could Become a Comet, Macaron is shown to have a screen on the top of his body, which can be used to look at photos that he has taken. He also has mechanical arms that protrude from the top of his body, which he can use to hold things.

## Personality

Although Macaron is a robot, he's able to feel emotions and have desires. He likes spending time outside, going on walks with Nana, and he seems to get sad if he's unable to do so. His favourite thing is happy endings.

Macaron seems to be very sentimental. He values his time spent with Nana, often looking through photos of her in his storage. He's shown to become lonely when she's not around.

## Relationships

### Nana

Nana is Macaron's owner, and as such he is loyal to her. They used to go everywhere and do everything together, so Macaron is especially lonely after Nana left him behind.

### Lili

Although their relationship is not given much screen time, it can be inferred that Lili and Macaron have some affection towards each other. Lili was seen petting Macaron when they first met, and in If I Could Become a Comet, he's shown chasing after a hallucination of her.

## Story

**Warning**

This section contains spoilers. Proceed with caution.
Macaron is a type of cleaning robot which has a variety of other functions, including taking photos and being a companion to humans. It's implied that Macaron and other robots of the same model are sentient.

Nana's dad bought Macaron for her when she was young. The two of them spent all of their time together, and Nana would often take Macaron to play outside with her, because she had no friends. One day, while sitting in the grass, Macaron was found by Lili, who accompanied him. This is how he and Nana met Lili for the first time.

Macaron is shown to be supporting Nana as she studies in Secret. Nana brought Macaron with her when she went to the airship tower to reunite with Lili, although she abandons him at the top of the tower after jumping off. At the end of Reunion, Macaron is shown sitting atop the tower, having cleaned up Nana's neon tears, seemingly waiting for her return. Nana never came back for him.

Forever loyal to Nana, Macaron would spend the rest of his life visiting places she liked and reminiscing about his time with her. According to the Futari No artbook, his version of If I Could Become a Comet takes place after Reunion. In this version, he chases after illusions of Nana and Lili, wishing for them to come back. Sadly, this is one reunion that is not likely to happen.

## Trivia

* Nana wears Macaron like a backpack in Yakusoku.
* In the Futari No Ketsuron live, the staff customized a real roomba to look like Macaron and let it roam around the stage during the performance. There was a camera dedicated to following Macaron around, which the livestream would fade to from time to time.
* A robot that looks identical to Macaron (besides the fact that it has one eye instead of two) is featured in an artwork by Harumaki Gohan called "A certain Blue Planet", which originated in March 2016. The robot in that artwork is holding a lamp, and appears to be flying. Judging from the name of the artwork, it seems to take place on the same planet as Futari No, so it's possible that Macaron has the ability to fly.
* There is a Macaron on the strange door Nana is depicted in front of in an artwork called "That is something you could say I know" (それは知るということ).
* In Futari No Ketsuron, in Gohan Newspaper, Macaron's model was created by a businessman known as Macaron Joe in order to bring companionship to the youth of the Blue Planet during its downfall, when parents were too busy to spend time with their children. It was apparently so popular that almost every home had one.
