and I will proclaim the end

after her outburst in chapter 4, mythra pretty much never talks about or alludes to her issues, at least not explicitly. it’s still there, but she’s able to pretty effectively hide it until it’s all out in the open during chapter 7. meanwhile pyra is constantly Trying to hold it in and maintain the nice polite softgirl front, but it really doesn’t take much for her depression to get pretty openly displayed. like one would note that it only takes a little prompting for pyra to more or less tell corrine she wants to die. while she isn’t usually that obvious about it, it’s still pyra who starts lamenting the agony of memory just from hearing vandham’s explanation of blades, it’s still pyra who bursts into tears at the mention of addam, etc. try as she might to keep it a secret, pyra really just cannot hide how badly she’s doing.

Happy third anniversary to Future Redeemed! Behold my Sha(lvis) magnum opus: 27k of a very self indulgent, extra queer take on post-canon Xenoblade as Shulk and A try to work out how to talk to each other again.
