Song: This Isn't Love, Ag Silver
Focal Character(s): Yuan, Mithos
Mithos may have loved his sister once, but he didn't any more. Mithos may have thought he loved his sister, but he was wrong. That wasn't love.
He was obsessed with her, that was all. Anyone who actually loved her would have let her rest in peace, not drag her through what must be a painful, helpless existence. Yuan thought, or maybe it was just wistful thinking, that Martel could see what was going on, that she could hear him in the lonely moments when he spoke to her in the empty hall.
But more often than not, he desperately hoped she couldn't. If she had to exist like this, chained to the Great Seed, he wanted her existence to be a peaceful one. Yuan knew what it was to love Martel. The pain of her death was still there, four thousand years later.
Mithos didn't love his sister. Love wasn't blind to the pain it was causing the beloved.
