an underrated part of the "no one stops" fight is how nier literally can't grasp just how much popola fucking hates him and how much worse he's making it every time he tries to talk her down

how do you think automata factors into the drakenier sibling meta? in this case, are 2b, A2, and 9s the doomed sibling situation? i feel like the metaphor could extend to all of yorha even. Or maybe yorha units and the machine lifeforms since theyre made of the same "stuff" (machine cores)
there's a lot you can read into the exact nature of yorha, the humans, the machines, and how that ties into the recurring theme, but also don't forget that popola+devola and adam+eve exist and are absolutely the epitome of yoko taro's twin-based-tragedy antics
one could argue that they were the breaking point where it became clear yoko taro was actively writing twins into all of his projects to create opportunities for suffering

Devola: You know, Popola, I understand now why we're twins... It's because... Because we were born without souls.
Popola: *gasp* Devola, I can't stop the bleeding! Oh God! I can't stop it!
Devola: This world is too... agh... too lonely for one without a soul. There's too much... emptiness... Our souls are missing... And yet somehow our tears still work. It's kinda weird. Sorry, Sis. I love you...
