“…And can you specify what exactly this ‘glory and joy’ of yours is?” ‘Of course. Rakiel.’ “…” ‘You called him military medical officer Rihan, didn’t you?’ “…Yes.” ‘I will keep him by my side. I will live eternity together with him. You can partake in that joy. How does that sound?’ “…” ‘Will you rot away and disappear in this cold prison, stripped of all future and hope? Or will you, even with only a faint self and a clear body, keep him by your side forever?’ “…” ‘Easy choice, isn’t it?’ "... Keep your word."
my toxic trait is that i do find javilon being willing to become a faint shadow of himself just to be with rakiel forever extremely hot of him. like. i do think it's very romantic that when the choice is to give up everything that made him himself except his desire for rakiel or never seeing him again it's not even really a choice. sorry.
