castle of nations is so cool let’s consider castle and dahlia a certain subtype of doomed lovers, maybe(?)
it’s strange for him to be in love with the being he gave life to without meaning to and almost fully relies on to keep the ecosystem he accidentally created in order
and it’s strange for her to be in love with the being that gave her life without meaning to, but no one else but her is trusted enough to handle the herculean task of keeping his world turning
he secretly envies her ability to move freely, she secretly envies his power. she hates his passivity. he hates her rigidity.
they need opposing qualities to survive. they both hate it.
they both know their ultimate fates are not in their hands.
both know one cannot exist without the other.
it’s strange.
