Kiss me, sis.

“And though it was to her benefit and personal growth, because of this loss she would always live with a sense that something was missing.“

I really want Calliope to be happy, believe me…

…but I can’t help thinking of her living her life on Earth C while feeling an irrational desire to resolve the old conflict with Caliborn, despite the fact they no longer share a body.

It manifests itself in a feeling of restless incompleteness that just can’t be drowned out with the company of friends.

I’m aware that it could easily be mistaken as something akin to stockholm syndrome, but all I’m trying to do is incorporate the behavioral aspects that Aranea has provided in her cherub exposition. 

I still find myself drawn to the bittersweet fact that cherubs will grow to miss the half they’ve lost and the conflict they’ve once had. 

It must be especially difficult for Calliope since she has learned so much about the gentle and loving ways of humans and trolls with their friendships, families and moirallegiances. She can’t justify missing someone as horrible as Caliborn. 

It’s very important to remember that cherubs experience love exclusively through hatred, and while we know that Calliope is fascinated with the concept of red romance, the natural mating behavior of a cherub calls for conflict with a cherub similar to the half they grew up with.

It’s a cruel and lonely existence, yet entirely natural for their species.
