[Episode 16]
[Anri Sonohara and Saika]
If Saika loves people, then why does it slash them? Some swords have alternative cognitive functions.
For example, when a dullahan named Celty loves someone, she demonstrates her affection in a human manner.
When a sentient katana by the name of Saika loves someone, it stabs them and/ or grievously wounds them with a knife slash.
If Anri loves someone, Saika kills permits Saika to love people for her.
She contains Saika, the original blade.
There is no distinction between the parasite and the host, for she is not parasitic, and neither is Anri.
It is a mutually beneficial relationship- mutualism.
Or, alternatively, mutual love.
