The most baffling thing about Priestess to me is how she keeps it together. An eternity worth of memories of someone who’s a part of you gone. Oracle kinda opposes her now even.
She’s resilient enough to keep going, I’d for sure get destroyed by loneliness.
I love the Idea that Priestess should be "forgotten", "neglected", or "moved on".
Because due to how "total" she loves something, her love really feels "transcendent"
She tries to protect but she destroys, she maintains good but she generates bad, she yearn for life but embraces death.
Truly the most robust portrayals of "love", as if her love doesn't play favor and embraces everything.
Her love is being portrayed in the most abstract way, but very total. She loves life in a most abstract way, she doesn't choose which existence to be subjected to her love, but she loves the pattern that generates life and death as a whole.
I'd like to think, due to her own indifference, she won't care if she's being remembered or not. She's indifferent to assert her own framework to the whole universe. And if we apply it to her character as a whole, she would probably be also indifferent for either being loved or hated, being remembered or forgotten.
But as long as the world is still being maintained by her own framework—as death and life's being generated, as good and bad is still generated—it won't matter. Because indirectly that's how her "love" works. It doesn't need any recognition or any payback.
But alas her characterization hasn't reached this point yet, at least from the Arknights main story. But Endfield gave me a good light 🤧
