if you think about it too much like i do lillie and gladion i think are accurate depictions of different ways people cope with traumatic experiences.
lillie becomes someone who is scared to be part of the world. and gladion becomes someone who’s angry at it.
the manga aether family lore is actually fascinating and you’re doing it a disservice if you take only surface level observations. lusamine is a fascinating character and bear with me; doesn’t even end up being the true villain. walk with me.
lusamine hurts lillie deeply. -
