I literally can't stop thinking about the WoL and Themis.
The realization that this person you thought was a villain for years is just a sweet little guy before he's thoroughly corrupted by the biggest sacrifice he'll ever make and the fallout of it. That he looks up to you, and you're the kind of hero he aspires to be.
That he respects you so much that he asks for your thoughts on his warring internal identity, because he's unsure if he can be a person when so much duty is on his shoulders.
The guilt that he might have volunteered to be the heart of Zodiark because it's what he thought you might do
There's so much heartbreak throughout the last tier of Pandaemonium -- the way he's so excited to show off his battle skills for you, then so grateful to just spend a few more moments in your presence. The exchange of aether, that the WoL volunteers to give him aether without a second thought to give him form for just a little more stolen time. The pleading for you to hear him out because he has feelings to share in his last moments.
And then he has the absolute gall to tell you that it all had meaning because he got to meet you and get to know you.
And despite finally, finally remembering everything, he chooses not to stay.
Then he dissipates into nothing??? And he's gone.
Because they never stay. Hades and Hythlodaeus didn't. Why would Themis?
But there's still an open portal to Elpis. You can still go back in time and interact with the Unsundered world, daily if you want to, and you have close friends and allies now who live there. So why wouldn't you send a letter? Why wouldn't you wait until Themis shows up again, just to spend another moment of stolen time together?
I will never stop being heartbroken about this 💙
