yeah yeah the distinct tragedy of colum asht being bred and born to serve as a battery for his necromancer and having next to no identity outside of his utility to the heir of his house we’ve all seen it. but at least he HAS that identity. what about poor ram and capris. imagine that you grow up knowing that there’s a 33% chance you’ll be genetically picked for this incredibly important (if also torturous and borderline unethical) position within your religion government. imagine you spend half of your life training for it, learning absolutely everything there is to know, JUST IN CASE it’s you that’s picked. and then you aren’t. and you have to keep on existing afterwards knowing that the whole purpose you were born for - the whole purpose you were CONCEIVED for - the whole reason that you’ve spent your life functioning as effectively one third of a whole human being - did not happen for you. but you have to keep going. what do you even do at that point
