still thinking abt the idea that palisade is driven by grief—the emotion of loss and the parallel thematic overlapping of past and present. as in: "not even corpses are stationary", "most people don't have time to practice dying", "the season about the inability of standing still". the myths of the twilight mirage come up against cold reality. and in the midst of the fight, the blue channel and their allies are grieving. (valence, obviously. and griesel, phrygian, and figure.) (integrity lost dahlia. the afflictions haunt the planet, and a tomb shines in the night sky. jesset, just... generally.)
how do you look forward, live on, when your loved ones are behind you? what does it mean to fight in someone's memory? you might be willing to die, but are your friends ready to mourn? all palisade questions. season about grief.
