#They stood in opposite sides of a board‚ with totally contrary opinions on the same matter‚ yet ended on the other side of each other

It's as if they're saying... "Why... why did you and Imbibitor Lunae commit such an unforgivable sin?"

I know that you have no interest in my answer.

...which is why I asked the question as you looked me straight in the eye. I've asked myself that same question infinite times... but was never able to find the answer...

Why... why is it that only the abominations can return time and time again...?

Why does someone like her have to be buried, burned to ash, and eventually forgotten...? Why!?

This play on questions that await no answer, yet are in their way a response to what was asked, is so good

#The way they manauver around silences and how they don't say straight away what they mean and meant and felt and thought #yet know and understand even in their not sharing the other's position #I love how it works with Jin.gliu's understanding of Blade seeking B.ailu but not taking her medication‚ #hoping for a different kind of treatment‚ just as she had #They stood in opposite sides of a board‚ with totally contrary opinions on the same matter‚ yet ended on the other side of each other #So similar both in stories‚ influences‚ relations and personality in some ways. So similar in movements in the end #So similar in drive to live beyond their death at the end of it all. Unable to let go and move on #Holding on to grudges and hatred and their sword if only to keep the pain and the memory alive if it's all that rests #I love them so much #I talk too much #Traces #Fragments and scraps #Why did you do it? Why is it that only monstrosities come back? Why did you do it? Why does she stay dead while my flesh restores itself? #Why did you do it? But seeing Bail.u is the best medicine she could have hoped for. And he did it‚ but is full of regrets #The absolute reproach and yet the mutual understanding is so good. It feels so natural and coherent. So human #I truly love them and their dynamic a lot #Also‚ obsessed with the fact that Blade says she stabbed him through his heart in the final blow‚ and how the image reflects it #'In the end‚ you stabbed me through the heart and left me and the sword in that withered grave' #'最后‚ 你刺出穿心一击‚ 把我和剑一起留在了那片枯冢' #I can't tell just how moved this whole quest makes me and how satisfactory it was to me haha #The Gongshu reference makes me want to scream every time #The weight of 'you left me and the sword' with how Blade and that sword are linked in life and death and change of being and name #Avfkabfkkd I couldn't love him more
