sylusmc are the literal definition of an OUROBOROS. their love is not only eternal, it is regenerative.
in every lifetime, sylus feels the metaphysical pull of mc’s soul fragment. whenever they are reunited, it’s not mere happiness that he feels. its completion. like two halves of a whole finally slotting back into place (quite literally).
in that moment, all the lifetimes that they’ve shared together come full circle and immediately the next loop begins: sorceress mc being reborn as countess and then as a hunter. like a serpent’s tail curling into its mouth and forming a new cycle.
but their bond has teeth because they’ve felt the intense urge to devour one another in each timeline. mc with sylus’ eye (aether core) in BC/main story and sylus with her soul. this is the sting of the ouroboros.
sylus’ love takes on a particular form as a result of this pattern. his affection is tinged with a sense of foreboding: “in the end he killed his beloved / until doomsday actually arrives / doomsday and all that jazz.” he is afraid they’ll run out of time and he will lose her again.
but despite remembering pieces of their former lives, his love for her rejuvenates itself perfectly each time. it is unmarred by the hurts of their past selves. he loves her like it’s the first time all over again… which explains why sylus is so protective of mc because to him, existing without her is a fate worse than death. it is unimaginable. the serpent’s body cut into pieces.
mc on the other hand, defies the very concept of mortality and i don’t mean flesh and blood. i mean in the sense that she embodies permanence and rewrites herself into being each time. it’s because she lingers even after she’s gone and that is why he loves her; but also because she simply is.
their love is ouroboric. creation -> destruction -> rebirth. a serpent swallowing its tail.
it is a cycle that their souls choose again and again. lifetime after lifetime. they are the heartbeat of the ouroboros. an everlasting love that never dies, but resets.
Junko was tortured, raped, murdered. it's estimated that she was violently raped over 500 times in 44 days, that's about 11 times per day. charlie kirk was a man who spouted hateful bullshit, and supported what ended up killing him. comparing the two is just fucking crazy
