"花は散り去っても, 時は巡りて咲き誇る, そしてまた舞い散る, 別れ道違えど, いつか時がすぎまた巡り会う"

Shulk, Noah and Pneuma are at their core, gentle people who care for others. However, in isolation, without support, they get driven by their anger and need for vengeance at the world. Shulk loses Fiora early in Xenoblade 1, this drives his motivation for his journey initially.

Pneuma is driven with guilt by what happened in Torna 500 years before the main events of Xenoblade 2. She hides her real identity down by creating a second personality, Pyra, who is what Mythra wishes she was.

Noah is driven mad by the way Aionios uses people like him for its lifeforce. He's gentle at his core, but the way the world uses people like him drives him mad in each life cycle further driven down his path of isolation due to his paranoid fear of losing Mio.

Mio, Rex and Fiora are the 'human force' that stabilises the other. They all have a hatred for the way the world uses them, but instead of hating anyone in particular, they focus that anger towards the world itself and fight to change it for the better.

Each main Xenoblade romance works because they're both two sides to one whole. Without the other, they're incomplete people, they are also their own individuals with their own goals and strengths and weakness that the other can fill in for.

All this to say that Shulk is Rex's type, and they probably got together during Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed.

Do you ever think post-chapter 7 Noah and Mio looked at Ghondor, so grateful that despite everything, their legacy and their son’s legacy still lived on?

Nobody has ever insulted Noah for not kissing Eunie and Sena, but plenty of people have shat on Shulk for staying loyal to Fiora, some even blaming his child for it.

The double standards sicken me.
