emma/lloyd:)

Lloyd and Harumi falling from the Oni Temple into primeval's eye parallels the first time they fell into primeval's eye. The first time they fell, it was due to Harumi's manipulation. She hacked into Pixal, causing the attack that lead to her and Lloyd falling to Primeval's Eye. The second time they fall, though, it's due to Lloyd. Harumi dragged Lloyd away from his friends, Lloyd dragged Harumi away from the Overlord and the Crystal council.

The first time they fell, the two fall separately. Harumi's protected by the Samurai X suit, Lloyd leaves her to ensure his own safety. The second time, they fall together. They cling to each other, they don't separate.

Harumi needed Lloyd the first time they fell. She needed him to get the Mask of Hatred. She needed Lloyd the second time too, just in a different way. Harumi spent the first portion of Crystalized with Lloyd kidnapped trying to get Lloyd on her side. She wanted darkness to consume him, because then that makes her right. She was trying to prove that she was right, that darkness is stronger than light by corrupting THE hero who, in her eyes, is the personification of light. If Lloyd succumbs to darkness, then Harumi was right, then she made the right choice.

happy late llorumi friday!! they make me sick (positive) and their fits make me sick (negative)

i miss drawing sog harumi

Like, I dunno, hacky writing or whatever, but there is something in Crystalized Harumi, in this really fucked up abusive relationship with her King, seeking comfort in the most familiar, and the most familiar being her nemesis, who she spent years researching.

"Join me, I have nothing left except you now. We can pretend again."
