@callista I feel like I now understand that to her, love is focus. Love is expertise honed to another's benefit

@mostportem YES EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY

@callista and that makes me feel so much more for her... i see it. i understand the vision.

@mostportem plus like. she used some of her own blood to start the ritual. theres so much happening its insane

@callista exactly exactly. Like, i love girls bathing. Never gonna argue with that.. but Here, Here is where the romance is

@lup Exactly exactly I am really glad with how long and drawn out the process is, and how much explanation and air is given for it to just Happen. Its perfection..

@mostportem YEAH... like. she introduces it by saying that it's her specialty to do things like this and then it's immediately used to contextualize how much effort she's willing to go through for falin. kind of as if to suggest that she is just as passionate about falin as she is about her magic, if not Much more. and it causes her to do things she wouldn't normally, like being the first to suggest using monster parts, or making a gigantic mess everywhere

@mostportem and then when it comes to arranging the skeleton itself it takes FOREVER. and she's the only one who's really specialized to do it, so she does almost all of it by herself. and yet she never once seems to mind or complain at all. she even like, casually talks to laios as she's doing it, in a way where she isn't usually calm enough with him for things like that in tense situations. since she's so focused on doing all of these things for falin's sake

@mostportem she is so obsessively devoted. it's so insane. this episode is the one where i think it will click for a lot of people what exactly her deal is

@lup yeah yeah! It most certainly is for me, especially since I haven't read the manga, this is all new to me.. but we're really seeing her in a new mode which emphasises her calculated endurance and fortitude when confronted with such a situation. I'm so excited to see what becomes of her after this, how this might shift her character focus.. it's all so exciting ☺️☺️

@lup @mostportem YEAH like her immediately insisting on using monster parts to bring falin back in contrast to like, her early revulsion at eating monsters. the contradiction is so incredible and delicious

@callista @lup oh good point that's very special too.. there's a collapse of reservations there. Everything is stripped down to being Functional, for the greatest chance of success almost
