I was two or three chapters in when i thought.. maybe i should slow down and give time to absorb? and then i thought, fuck nah, i don't often get a whole chunk of hours to just sit down and splurge on a story, let do this thang! so you got to experience a serious stream of consciousness right to the face. sorry!
- "when we first met you said we were the same" and she thinks it's about the aether core, and Sylus says "sure, think of it like that" but we then learn that it's not the same aether core. So there's something else that makes them "the same".
iiiiiinteresting. maybe its the hunger at the core of us, or something. he seems like a guy who might like to devour things too. there's too much unknown at the moment in terms of where Sylus comes from and whatever his entanglement is with the MC and/or a (or many) previous incarnation(s) of her. Maybe we were one being once and got split apart. Maybe we were twins.
you COULD link the aether core to its placement. Sylus' core is in his eye, and his ability is related to sight. MC's is in her heart.
i will be cheesy and say our aether core makes people fall in love with us, if we love them first. that would be all sorts of terrible and why Rafayel is upset with us somewhere underneath it all. maybe we feel so strongly for things or people that we end up destroying them. Lemuria drowned, after all - or maybe burned. Philos is cracked apart and maybe we were there for that too.
You will see it! It's the first Bond memory you unlock with him, "Midnight Stealth". You get it by reaching Affinity 10.
i will go look!
- "refuse me all you want."
I won't spoiler, but take this sentence very literally and not in the way we're being wired to read it through romance books.
you said you were pretty up on FFXIV for somebody who doesn't play it. do you know Fandaniel? because of him, i absolutely look at things as exactly as they're said as one of the possible options. i will take this under advisement.
i am a tiny bit put out that getting a whole core together doesn't immediately jump us into Danger Doll range. maybe its just a practice thing, or maybe we need to learn to really commit in order to get the most out of our new wavelength possibilities.
i had dinner and talked a bunch about the story to someone and i have no answers or even where exactly this is going, but its definitely starting to feel like pawns on a chessboard and sacrifice over and over, trying to reset the entire game. its not me, i don't think, but something is trying to re-do everything. i'm suddenly new, and Philos was dead and was alive again too. what's the difference, really? a whole heart, beating in time.
hmmm.
Zayne will be APPALLED.
on the previous episode: "ONLY SHE CAN SAVE US! YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW..." wooo! i'm important! everybody wants to chop up my innards to sell to the highest bidder! except "..That thing is with her." what thing?"
IS THAT 'THING' SYLUS?!?
