(I drafted this months ago but now Uhh I guess ill show it this once then private it again)
I like the idea of nineami becoming cupids and helping each other because!! because!!!
they both 100% died with regret and are still resenting themselves for not doing the things they should've done before they were at the edge of dying
like nine finally admitting she didn't want to be left alone, or kitsu realizing she should've been more+tried to be selfish in their last dying thoughts..
It's puts them on equal!!!.. because in the end the reason why they're cupids is because of their refusal to do the things they need to!!!
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THEY COULDN'T FALL IN LOVE!!!!!
Nine needs to trust (intimacy) someone and and Kitsu needs to trust herself (autonomy) to be able to fall in love.
Like I think a few cupids tried to make them fall in love before, but their bullets keep reflecting because these two are being held back, since they're so DETERMINED to avoid that need!!!
although, It's gonna be hard to accept that, Intimacy for nine feels like weakness, and autonomy for kitsu feels like seperation, and those things feel like death to them!!
I think they can help eachother to attain that need, like veey unconsciously, Nine teaching Kitsu to be more assertive about herself, and Kitsu teaching Nine it's okay to let someone help her ..
Like maybe Nine noticing Kit's habit of making her choose firearms, and finally telling her she should pick one herself but then Kit looks at her like "😨!!!"
Or orrrrr
Kitsu noticing Nine's habit of being in denial.. like Kitsu seeing how scared Nine easily is and asking her that if she was scared back there (she'd seen it tons of times before but hesitated on saying it for a while) and Nine will look at her like "😰????" she'd probably panic for at least a millisecond then furrow her eyebrows like "😾" to seem tuff, "NO I DIDN'T—!" "Nine, I know what I saw, YOU WERE SCARED!"
