God Lune’s life sucks so bad. The focus gets passed to Verso for obvious reasons but her life sucks so bad
Like imagine every moment of your existence since you were four years old being a contingency plan, a means to an end. While your two older siblings got to go off and be people you were a stepping stone that your parents laid out with meticulous care. And then they die and they fail and you have this resounding drive that you will make it worth something. You find the last remnants of your mother‘s voice and it’s just an order that you must succeed or there wouldn’t have been a point to any of this. That conviction is so ingrained to your character that one of your revival/healing lines is an apology for making a mistake and getting hurt and a declaration that it won’t happen again like you’re more afraid of the thought of failure than death or pain
And then you do succeed with the one thing your parents dreamed for you and complete the one purpose that’s been set out for you and then it’s ripped away. Then the moment you make peace with the fact that you could be your own person that you don’t have to be a means to an end, the person who said that to you who was perhaps the first person you felt so you as you betrays you - twice. And once again you have served the purpose of being a steppingstone of a backup plan and none of it mattered
This story is not about you and it was never about you but you were a loadbearing driving force of moving the plot along. All you get for recompense is a final glance and a muttered I’m sorry before the future you dare to dream of slips out of your hands
