I totally zoned out during the 2.5 storyline and still can’t wrap my head around the relationship between Nulla and Neo. From what I get, Neo’s like Nulla’s past life? But I searched everywhere and couldn’t find the answers I wanted.
Could you break down Nulla and Neo’s relationship for me in detail, please?
Okay, I'm going to go through everything from start to current, so buckle up! This will be long.
Neo is Nulla's past life. He made appearances in animations Soffis posted to YouTube a few years ago.
He lived several lives, gained mysterious powers, and knew he was being watched by viewers on YouTube.
Neo's character was eventually rebooted into Nulla, a self-aware character in the TEAG novel. (See FAQ on how to read.) The novel was abandoned halfway through, and instead, its universe was rebooted into the TEAG game.
Nulla remembers all of Neo's past lives and memories, and since he's a thief by nature who can only destroy, not create, he takes on Neo's memories as his own.
He adopts Neo's appearance. His Chilean heritage. His ability to dance Cueca, his obsession for sweets, his smoking habits. He even considers Neo's sister as his own.
Most of the things people love about Nulla are cherry-picked from Neo. As a reminder: This is Nulla.
This is just an appearance he takes on because he thinks it will appease you.
And he's willing to change it again, if you want...anything you want.
As mentioned earlier, Mother was with Neo in the past. She is a goddess...
...and opened his eyes to the truth of his existence as a fictional character.
Knowing the truth is what sent Nulla on this destructive path of Father's creation, which is why Father condemned Mother.
As a warning at the start of 2.5, she says Neo's name, which separates him from Nulla temporarily. Names in the Garden are important, as you should now know.
Neo does not see everything live through Nulla's eyes. When he's brought back to consciousness, he has Nulla's memories like one would recall a dream after waking up.
As far as I know, Neo and Nulla have no relationship with each other like Septem and Rafael do. Nulla basically considers Neo as himself since he has nothing else to shape himself around (until you start providing him with feedback about what you like). But Neo sees Nulla as separate from himself.
Nulla wants to erase Neo. And himself. And everyone, and everything.
So, in the current point of the game, they are at odds. You have the choice on Nulla's route to either branch off and help Neo...
...or stay on Nulla's path to get rid of everything that ever was and the potential of everything that ever will be.
