Ailette & Tesilid

s-class heroine webnovel spoilers

rereading s-class heroine and taking extra notice whenever tesilid and ailette discuss reed and just. crying wtf.

---

"Are you going to fight him?"

"There's no appeasement or compromise with him. His only goal is the destruction of the world.

He's the enemy of the world, so there's no choice but to defeat him. "

"Right. you're on the side of the world."

Tesilid smiled bitterly and turned his head away.

this happens SO many times??? so many little moments where tesilid's silently wondering whether ailette would accept him, but he never says anything so you never realise his train of thoughts until you're on your reread.

moments where ailette is angry and vengeful on his behalf and he looks hopeful and happy. (maybe she would also understand why he did what he did)

moments where she is serious and solemn about reed and you can see him get gloomy - but never at the mention of reed, per say, but at ailette's reaction to the thought of reed. He's always carefully searching ailette's face when he asks about reed. and the knowledge that she knows reed's goals and plausibly also his motivations, and yet sees him as irredeemable. man.

i wanna scream.

i wonder if this tesilid we see is the continuation of the reed that ailette spoke to. does our "17th" tesilid remember ailette's warning, does he remember telling her that he will return after he's destroyed the world to see if she will still reach out to him?

(personally i think he isn't, and he's the original 100th tesilid/reed. he seems a little too uncertain whenever reed shows up. but if he didn't come from the ailette-occupied 100th timeline, that might create a break in the time loop???)

...tesilid has lived for so many rounds and has only now gotten the chance to pick up fishing...................

ailette's line about "come to think about it, he doesnt seem to have any hobbies"......

major S-class heroine spoilers under cut

screaming theselid is literally the "live long enough and you'll see yourself become the villain" trope.

screaming also bc it literally took him 100 lifetimes to reach that point. he is not inherently evil and vengeful, but he did nonetheless do that.
