an actual alien from area 51

Arc wise, levins disability is very important to how he's viewed. In season 3, he's around 14, and he's traveling with aphmau as a sort of apprenticeship, wanting to follow in her lordly footsteps. But hes not deaf. Every town they go to someone has something to say about how the lady Irene's son is a cripple. It's ironic that someone with healing powers couldn't even be bothered with healing her own son. How the lady irene only drags levin along out of charity or pity. Levin already doesnt have an especially high view of himself from growing up in the yggersdale forest where people were not coy about stating exactly what they thought of the human or half-breed children in their sacred forest. But as the season goes on levin spirals into unhealthy obsession as he tries to live up to expectations he set for himself, feeling like dead weight that aphmau is dragging along with her. If you've ever been 14, you know exactly how low your opinion of yourself can get. And it comes to a breaking point when levin nearly drowns because his prosthetic weights him down and he needs to be rescued. After that, as a kid who has constantly been show sacrifice is the deepest form of love, he starts to believe thats the only way he can be useful. Its what drives him to shield aphmau from a near fatal blow because the world needs her way more than it needs him. Hes just weighting her down and this is the one good thing he could do for her. Aphmau tries to heal him but her powers arent working. The whispering visage of irene tells her of another way. A machine deep within the alliance island ruins. One that could save him. Aphmau carries levin to the ruins, frantic and terrified at the though of losing her first son. She rushes him to the ruins and below. Deep below to a white chamber with a platform irene instructs her to place him. Aphmau hesitates before pressing the button questioning irene on what exactly it will do while irene rushes her that her son is bleeding out and theres not enough time for this. That hesitation is the second needed for emmalyn to burst in and yank aphmaus hand away from the controls and tell her exactly what that machine does. This would be the reveal of what relics actually are and would be the major turning point in aphmau and Irene's relationship. Levin is patched up and him and aphmau have a heart ot heart about how he doesnt need to live up to anything and he needs to take some time to recover and just be a kid. He doesnt need to stress himself to death over taking up a lord mantle because shes not going anywhere, and shell be right there to step aside when he feels ready.
