Chapter 16 - The trial of body
The white mist – the ubiquitous substance of the highest levels of arcane world-bending, powered by the force of divinity – it was but a veil to what was to come. Barely had the party of five passed through the shrouded barrier before they witnessed a new sight. It was a realm of endless sunset, shining above a bleached city. The sight was astounding – kilometers upon kilometers of the colorless buildings, erected not from stone, but salt.
“Girls? Everyone’s still here?” Keyaruga asked, afraid to lose his senses in this accursed fog. Even if it subsided a little, one could still be trapped in its obscurity. He turned around, fully expecting to find himself separated from his group. At least, his golden egg was still with him.
“Setsuna’s here!” Ellen reported, holding onto her new glorified anti-stress toy. Which was just as endearing, as it was strange. After all, where are the rest?
“Freia? Eve?” The man yelled, grabbing the she-wolf by her wrist, just to keep her and his ‘sister’ near.
“Dissipare!” Well, that didn’t last long. Not only did the sorceress notify everyone about her presence with a loud chant, she also slammed the salty pavement with her staff. The wave of gold rippled across the vicinity, dissipating every last trace of the veil that Caladrius had placed on them. “Huh, finally! We’ve been seeking you for hours…” The heroine lamented, holding Eve by her hand.
“Hours? We’ve just entered this…” The healer mused, but he couldn’t finish the line, as the black-winged girl towards on him, hugging his torso, barely holding her tears.
“I thought… I’ve lost you forever!” The verdant woman exclaimed, her eyes wet with unshed tears, unwilling to let go of the red-eyed lad.
“Heh, welcome to hell, kids! I suggest we all hold our hands, so that this plague-spitter can’t bamboozle us anymore.
“Uh-huh. Good plan.” The wolf girl agreed, making sure the man’s grip on her wrist wouldn’t waver.
“I don’t like this place already. This thing… this realm – even time itself doesn’t flow properly here.” The elder princess complained, who was now holding onto Eve, who, in turn, wouldn’t let go of Keyaruga.
“Well, that’s a good start, don’t you think?” The hero scoffed, activating his jade eye. Everyone was here, but nobody smiled at his sarcastic joke. Not really surprising, seeing as Caladrius almost succeeded in cutting off Freia, the only one who possessed the proper insight about pocket dimensions, and substantial firepower enough to actually oppose the feathered deity. “Alright, let’s keep it this way. Setsuna, I need your senses. I need your eyes and ears in case I miss something here.” The man, being a cold-blooded leader, shared his first order.
“Uh-huh, already doing it.” The huntress responded, giving a brief glance over at Ellen, who frantically looked around. She recalled the last night, thought about it. The two of them weren’t truly lovers, they weren’t even friends. Setsuna just found herself to be a pillar of the princess’ emotional stability. There wasn’t love, like that between her and Keyaruga, nor the camaraderie that she and Freia shared. All she did was to not deny Ellen’s passion, that’s all.
“Good. Freia, use your heat vision, just in case.” Then, there was the second instruction from the lad. Although this one…
“I already did. Aside from us, there’s nothing, no sources of heat. Either we’re alone here… or whatever can live here doesn’t produce warmth.” The magician assumed, constantly draining magic with her staff. Absorbing energy here felt like breathing in the mountains… “The mana is thin here, so be careful about that too.”
“Hmm… I guess, Ellen was right. Caladrius indeed drains everything around her.” Eve deadpanned, sounding a little depressed. It was her trial, and yet, it awoke nothing but primal fear in her soul.
“I can’t hear anything.” The ice warrior reported calmly. Now, with the fog being blown away by Freia’s power, only the eerie cold void surrounded them under the fixed sun. No enemies to fight, no voices to be heard, only the empty towers of salt loomed above the contenders.
“I sure hope we haven’t messed up with the date.” Keyaruga contemplated, moving across the seemingly endless street. “As for now, I suppose, we have nothing better to do than just walk through that avenue.”
“What else can we do? Seems like this pigeon’s just being shy.” The younger princess chuckled, looking around her. The buildings, although made from the same material, were of eras long before the present day. Their architecture betrayed the early culture of the southern Jioral lands, Tarnia, the ancient kingdom to the west of it, some belonged to the lands of Garalis, but for the most part – it seemed like someone went and stole the buildings, or entire districts even, from the various regions of Tenanulic. “Heh, seems like our prey is a serious connoisseur of improvised urban development projects. Too bad nobody told her laying everything in a single pile, with all the buildings overlapping each other, is unaesthetic at the very least.” Ellen commented with a mix of awe for the highly detailed recreations, and outright mockery for the lack of originality.
“Well, at least we won’t get tired of the view anytime soon.” Freia tried alleviating the situation with some light humor, and this one had worked much better than Keyaruga’s sneering.
“I’d rather we get out of here.” Well, almost. Eve still felt incredibly uncomfortable: the weight of responsibilities, the stress, the shame for the previous night, when she failed to satisfy her guardian – all of that weighed on the shoulders of the queen-to-be in this dead city.
“Don’t be sad, birdie. As long as we stay together, we can handle it.” Keyaruga said, facing the girl with his the right eye closed. His eyeball rolled inside, making sure the supreme god of these lands wouldn’t steal his companions without the lad noticing.
“I hope…” Eve muttered, averting her gaze from the man’s face. After all, the thick nerve bulged though his shut eyelid.

Two hours. Two hours of unending walking throughout the endless maze of salt which ultimately lead them to nowhere. The road was still there, but the architecture seemed more and more obscure. No longer were the buildings layered on top of one another some sort of bizarre exception, as every house the party had come across was seemingly the work of a twisted genius, that defied not only common sense, but the rules of the physical universe themselves. Inverted structures, mosaics of unimaginable forms, some of them even seemed as if they were something from a different dimension entirely.
“Well, girls? What do you make of it?” Keyaruga, getting mentally tired of the unending walking, asked of his allies, right as Freia gave each of them a cup of water she had conjured.
“I think, it’s something right out of our dreams. In all honesty, aside from the mortal danger, I like this place.” Freia, being a beacon of enthusiasm, voiced her excitement. To her, this was a place of learning and perpetual astonishment.
“Ye-e-eah! I know a few archaeologists, who’d kill just to visit here.” Ellen added, trying to keep her own curiosity in check. After all, who could guarantee that she’d find a way back after leaving the road? “Too bad it belongs to the worst pigeon I’ve ever known.”
“Her name is Caladrius.” Eve spoke sternly, cautious of disrespecting the god in her own domain. “And she’s…”
“She’s trying to starve us.” Setsuna concluded, stomping on the salty pavement under her feet.
“That’s right. We won’t attain anything just by loitering around.” The fallen warlady judged, approaching her elder sibling. “Sister, break this illusion already! I’m getting tired of this crap!”
“Hm… Keyaruga, what would you say?” The sorceress, uneager to make hasty decisions based on Ellen’s bias, asked the most reasonable man around (and the only one as well).
“Do it, Freia. We need to find the god bird anyway.” He responded sternly. His jade eye worked as intended, but it showed nothing but an endless wasteland of salt and mist.
“Be ready.” Setsuna spoke to Eve, holding her shoulder now.
“He-heh… Ready…” The kokuyoku scion muttered, expecting to face her doom. Well, at least it would be swift, unlike this endless marching under a still sun.
The Hero of Magic stuck her staff into the ground and began chanting. Her words, unlike regular spells, were practically indistinguishable from each other, more like the blabbering of a mindless old hag one would think of when imagining a stereotypical witch rather than what Freia actually was. The plane began to ripple, the salt – crack, revealing the glimpses of the real world, its mountains and the morning luminary.
“Oh shit…” Ellen cursed with a nervous grin on her face. Right as the valley began crumbling in on itself, the mist thickened, dark clouds began forming above the party. “FREIA! MAGPIE! SHIELD US!!!” The princess screamed. Although it was still only slightly cold, a peculiar snow began falling from the sky.
“Finally!” The healer spat through his teeth, casting a green sphere with a brand of a blue bird above it. He was the first to react, thus covering his party with the dome of protection, but the ground began to rumble, completely breaking the sorceress from her concentration, as now she struggled to stand on her feet.
“Keyaruga, look!” Eve yelled, pointing on the tower rising in front of them. No, not tower… “It’s Kinacrith!” The entire city emerged on top of the ruins, erupting from the earth itself in a deafening roar.
“We must get over there quickly!” Ellen deadpanned, pointing at the mighty citadel of the Obsidian Throne. Or, at least, its copy. The harbinger of plague decorated her realm based on the lands she brought to peril, and now, she had a proof of that – her white feathers brought doom to this city in the first world. “There she… Auch!
“Tch! I know!” Keyaruga exclaimed, grabbing Ellen underneath his armpit. Now, under the snowfall of death, they had to act fast. After all, the man couldn’t hold off the diseased flakes, their corruption overtook his barrier, spreading through his right arm to the rest of the body.
“Keyaruga, you’re dying!” Eve stressed, looking at the lad’s pale face. He, Freia, Setsuna, and the queen-to-be ran forward, but it seemed like Caladrius specifically targeted the hero, trying to break his defense.
“I’m fine! Georgius helps…” The man replied, although it wasn’t his usual voice that left his bluish lips. It was a growl, a wheeze, a…
His immunity didn’t work. Panakea blessed him with invulnerability to all poisons and maladies, but this was something else. A divine plague, an aliment of legends which shifted its form every second, preventing any attempts at getting used to its ruinous effects.
In the end, Keyaruga’s barrier fell, corroded by the godly affliction, and the piles of snow, which, upon a closer look, turned out to be ash, now were about to fall onto the rest of the group. Georgius, his disembodied divine armament, had run out of ambient mana, and so, the man had crumbled, and with him – Ellen now crawled on the ground, calling for him, but her words were silent for the healer.
“R… ru…” And then, his vision got dark. This time, the death came for him for sure. This time…
“Venite in auxilium nostrum, o magnus ventus Aquilonis!” Freia yelled, waving her staff of the blood tree above her head. Through the breach she conjured into this world, the sorceress summoned a great spirit of northern wind to swipe the poisoned powder out of the air. The mighty storm formed a vortex above the party, allowing for the brief respite.
“Come on, get up!” Eve snarled, working with Setsuna to pick the lad up.
“Now, fast! I can’t keep it up for long!” The heroine alerted, tossing a potion of green and red to Ellen. “Drink it, Elly! We’ve got much running ahead of us!”
“Pfeh, as if I don’t see that.” The crimson-haired girl scoffed, heading after the rest of the group.
The snowfall and the storm, the flakes of plague, suppressed by the great element of air accompanied the contenders on their path toward Kinacrith’s copy, erected from the salt.
“Ghh… I… how long-?..” Keyaruga woke up soon afterwards. With the immaterial gauntlet having healed his poisoned body, he found himself among a city comprised of proper forms and shapes, but his vision was still blurry.
“Keyaruga?.. HE’S ALIVE!!!” Eve yelled, obviously trying to outcry the tempest. Unfortunately, though, the girls had no time to celebrate, as all of them had to outrun the time itself, making sure the snowfall of death wouldn’t bury them underneath.
“Setsuna… Eve…” When the lad completely came back to his senses, he found out that he was actually being carried by these two, but his legs were dragging along the floor. “It’s alright! I can run myself!” He broke free, regaining his leading position in this mortal race.
HOW DO WE STOP IT?!” The black-winged prodigy loudly asked… well, whoever could hear it in this deafening hell of wind and plague.
“Haa… Haa… THE TOWER! ABOVE IT!!!” Ellen pointed out, spotting a small white ball on top of Kinacrith’s peak. “IT’S HER!!! SHOOT THE FUCKER!!!” The princess urged, demanding destruction. As much as this order was born out of fear and confusion, there was a logical reason behind it. After all, if this was a test, then surely the cruel mistress of this place desired to be found.
A-A-A-A-AGH!!! HURRY!!! THE WIND IS GETTING WEAKER!!!” Freia cried, barely holding her staff in the air with her trembling arm. Another few seconds, and the ambient mana would make it explode into bloody pieces.
EVE!!!” The Hero of Healing yawped, sending beam after beam of light magic into the sphere. Most of the projectiles, sent by the man, couldn’t hit the spot. The ones that did, though, only chipped away its shining shell.
HASTA LUMINIS!!!” The girl joined the bombardment. She joined forces with her guardian, and together, they brought enough firepower to just barely break through whatever protection the creature had set off. As Setsuna prepared to raise a dome of ice, and Ellen just silently prayed for her team, the hero and his queen finally succeeded. Finally…
The bright and powerful explosion destroyed not only the sphere, the endless city of salt and void crumbled into nothingness. It was as if the glass dome began scattering in the wind, and with it, all the clouds and ruinous snow. The illusion was broken, and now, all five of them stood amidst the rocky valley. And from above the cliff, basked in the light of morning sun, a giant white bird, clad in gold and jewels, gazed upon them with her four eyes.
Caladrius, the true goddess of plague and rejuvenation now loomed above the party. What was even more hilarious, though, was the party found themselves not really far from where their two raptors were waiting for them, they could even spot Kelly and Patty on the horizon.
“You performed marvelously in overcoming the Trial of Body, little ones…” The grandiose bird stated, as her eyes began glowing in gold.
KILL IT, SISTER!!! BURN IT WITH FIRE-E-E-E!!!
“…now, it is time for the Trial of Heart!”
Alas, Ellen’s hysteria proved useless, as Freia hadn’t even a single extra second to aim, let alone properly chant a spell. Caladrius spread her grandeur wings, and everyone found themselves trapped in the dark.

He travelled through a pitch black, unending void. With no sound, nor light to orient himself around, the red-haired lad had to walk in a seemingly random direction. Not even the jade eye could pierce through this veil of emptiness, though.
“Girls? You there?” Despite his concern over his companions, Keyaruga sensed none of them. If Caladrius failed to separate them the first time, then now she definitely succeeded.
If your heart is weak, you can’t pass, such were the words of Mil, and, honestly, the oppressive solitude was unsettling all by itself. But then…
I HATE YOU!
BASTARD!
PADARA (faggot)!
YOU! I LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF YOU!
HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!
TANOUTUR (murderer)!
CURSED HERETIC!
Voices, dozens, hundreds, united in their refined hostility and contempt toward the Hero of Healing. Those he killed, those he trampled upon, those who he tortured to death. From raging bulls to soldiers the boy had to silence upon his escape, slavers and raiders, black dogs and Norn’s spearmen, thugs and robbers.
YOU’VE STOLEN MY FLARE!!!” Leonard, the despicable sadist covered in blood, roared, running with his sword, ready to cut down the one who murdered him. He… “A-A-A-A-A-A-AH!!! MY A-A-A-ARM!!!” …was disarmed instantly. The black blood of his tainted soul now painted Keyaruga’s saber, as he…
“Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-a!!!” …laughed like a mad man. Oh, the realization came to him. These were the ones whose lives he had taken with his own hand. The hero had to fall under the weight of his sins, supposedly. Did that stop him from beheading the one, who took his family? Oh no! No-o-o!
YOU CAN’T KILL ME NOW, YOU LITTLE SHIT!” Even when the thug in royal armor rose from a pool of his own blood, Keyaruga never stopped grinning. When the dead souls began charging at him, wave after wave, he rejoiced. These were the challengers, eager to avenge their deaths…
AHA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!” Keyaruga loudly chuckled. He chopped through Leonard’s head like a melon, grabbed the slaver, who sold him Setsuna, by his neck, crushed his balls with a knee, tossed his body into the crowd, slashed a soldier, kicked the fanatic, who oversaw the execution of his fellow villagers, crushed his nasty skull under his boot… “THANK YOU!!!” …grabbed his blade, dragged it, soaked it in his own blood, while the wailing mongrels stabbed and slashed him. It’s okay, when he swung, when the heroic blood fell upon them, they cried in pain, bursting like the enormous abscesses they were. “THANK YOU, MOMMY CALADRIUS, FOR THIS MAJESTIC PLAYGROUND!!!
The man yelled, chuckled, smiled… He ran across the dome of darkness, he lightened it with shining entrails; he burned his enemies with waves of fire, incinerated them with the lightning arcs. He killed, stomped, disgraced, disfigured, amputated, slammed, cut, broke bones, ripped hearts, took heads, and clubbed the poor bastards with their own severed limbs. They died, but rose again to take another chance at killing their tormentor, and everything started anew. This was the vicious circle of vengeance that the man enjoyed so very much and in it…

https://preview.redd.it/b79v5vcxsd2b1.jpg?width=704&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c1be7745e22851362ffeaaf773bce24d38dbfdb
NONE OF YOU DESERVE MY MERCY!!!
Was he right, though? Aside from various monsters, rushing into the carnival of gore, two people watched the lad’s brutality closely. Their eyes were full of despair… and disappointment.

While Keyaruga relished in his trial, Eve had to thread her path of emptiness with nothing and nobody to rely on. No enemies, no curses, no violence, no dark blood. Instead, she was met… by shadows.
Ni-ni-ni-ni-ni (no-no-no-no-no)!” She once again walked along the infinite road, but this time, no ally accompanied her, there was no friendship to call upon, no love to rely on. Only them – two columns of her brethren, bowing before their queen. Kneeling… to fade into her shining feathers. “Yoku shia horka in (don’t come into my wings)!” The verdant woman covered her teary eyes, waved off her subjects, she even tried shielding herself by pathetically embracing her wings. But there was no stopping it. Her friends, parents, guardians, servants, elders – dozens upon dozens of those, who chose her to be the vessel of their souls, were now stuck in this life.
Soon, all of the shadows went inside Eve’s feathers. None of them harbored any grudge against her, and even if they did, their spiritual form had no mouths to properly voice them.
But even so, Eve wasn’t allowed to get out of this hellish dome just yet.
Step. Step. Step.
A massive figure, slightly higher then two meters tall, emerged between the kneeling girl. A leonine figure carrying a long, bloodied stick, it was skinned, and his own pelt rested on his armored shoulders. He came to conquer. He…
Ushi, orna saikalla, setoan (you belong to me, woman)!” The demon, the bestial figure, humans tended to generalize ma-zok people to be, said, grabbing the Me-ua kahul by her chin with his clawed paw. “Yau ma, orn wor tanoute (how dare you murder me)?” The dead soul accused Eve, pushing her to the ephemeral ground.
“…” She was scared, Eve couldn’t even move a muscle, couldn’t speak, couldn’t breathe – the queen-to-be knew this man, she didn’t know, how, but she just knew! He was the one Keyaruga hinted at, when lamenting her lost family. He was…
“C… Cor… nar…” …the husband the ascended Me-ua had in the first world. Someone she saw as a soulmate, someone who blessed her with many victories and two beautiful children, someone… “Soguri (stand back)!” …the kokuyoku prodigy feared and hated, but had no will to oppose him back there. And now…
Orna kalla (you’re mine)!” The skinned lion spoke, pulling off his pants, revealing a disgustingly dismembered spiked penis. The black blood flowed out of it, as some intangible force cramped Eve’s mind with memories. They were her own, from another life, another timeline, but they were there, and they shackled her will. Even… Even if she wanted to fight back.
Keyaruga wouldn’t do that to her! Keyaruga wouldn’t rape her! Keyaruga wouldn’t berate her! Keyaruga wouldn’t belittle her! Keyaruga wouldn’t do that! Keyaruga!.. Keya… ru…
KEYARU!!! KEYA-A-A-A-RU-U!!! SAVE ME-E-E!!!” Eve screamed, fruitlessly trying to punch the undead monstrosity.
You can’t just kick a god to death, though.
Yes… Yes! But he wasn’t a god! He was!..
Marno (it’s useless). Oma pora kanbu (I’m gonna rape you).” The nightmare spoke, outright choking the girl. She had no strength to…
Why? There’s magic, there’s might, there’s so much… So much…
A call resounded inside Eve’s very being. An urge, a wish, an order. She had the power, a little army, which desired to be called upon.
N-no, I can’t!
She had to. The flow of time itself stopped, just to give the future queen this chance. Outside of it, nothing but doom and misery awaited her.
I… Don’t want…
No matter what she wanted, there were people who truly wished her good. People, who loved her for real… Her new family.
K… Keya… Keyaruga!
That’s right. A flux of power rose from within her, a load of motivation, a surge to overpower fear and regret. Time resumed its movement. And with it…
UO-O-O-O-O-O!!!” A shadowy figure flew across the black dome, leaving a giant hole inside the rapist’s chest. A savior came to Eve, and she looked familiar.
“M… MOM!!!” Eve, released from her fear, charged forward to hug her mother, but alas, Cornar came back from the dead, standing on his paws once more, he pushed the ghost woman away, and resumed his march toward the kokuyoku scion. But she wasn’t just a descendant of this tribe, Eve Reese was its righteous princess! The one and only queen! “How dare you do this to me?! How dare you claim me?!” As she spoke, more and more shadows emerged from within her wings to assault the perpetrator. It doesn’t matter if he remembered their erased future, doesn’t matter if he had a relationship with the ruler of the Confederation. Right now, he was just a threat, an enemy of the queen.
And what does the royal guard do to enemies of their monarch?
They kill them!
Is this… what it’s like to be you, Keyaruga?

2023.05.27 14:30 Mission-Raccoon9432 Discussion: A Father For Ruby?

Since Ruby's mother has become a prominent topic after the release of Chapter 119 I wanted to explore with you together the other direction of Ruby's parents spectrum: A father figure.
I was rewatching some early anime episodes and I started to pay more attention to Aqua's actions and words under the lense that he is in fact a much much older man with the respective mental and exp gap between them two. In fact Sarina spend most of her life in a hospital so the real gap is even wider than the pure age difference insinuates. I started to realize a kind of well-crafted irony which lays under the expression "Sis-con" respectively Aqua's so called "overprotectionism".
Please don't give up reading. It might start a bit boring at the beginning but it's important for to establish a certain fundamental relationship between Aqua and Ruby which will play out as one of the major culminating dramatic plot points in the Manga.
Aqua and Ruby
Aqua is playing the role of the twin brother of Ruby Hoshino. But matter of fact over the years of coming along with each other the much older and experienced Gorou Amamiya and Sarina Tendoji developed a pseudo father-daughter relationship. She would genuinly listen to him like a daughter to a father when he gives her a good advice. And indeed his advices are mostly good. She knows that she can rely on his judgement and that he has only her "best interests" (in the way a father figure has) in mind. He in fact is old enough to act like a father and brings these particular qualities to the table if needed. In return through her mental age Ruby's kinda brings the particular qualities of a vulnerable daughter to the table, so it's a mutually accepted relationship even if not explicitely verbalized. Ruby probably understood that intuitively a long time ago and adjusted her relation accordingly. Of course on paper and "as their roleplaying goes" they are brother and sister. But the actual structure of their relation is what matters here, the flesh is just masking it. Thus Aqua appears to outsiders like a siscon.
In many casual slice of life moments she would show off in front of her friends with opinions that she learned from Aqua. There is also fun and light hearted disagreement, for example when Aqua would point out her skirt might be too short to which she replies that he always acts like an old man. It's such a cliché father-daughter interaction that I'm almost urget to believe in the author's intentionality to exactly establish this vague feeling between them. She feels safe and well born under the umbrella of Aqua and Miyako. In some scenes watching Aqua and Miyako sitting next to each other and talk about Ruby really feels like a father and a mother discussing their daughter's future. And I think this association is purposefully intended by Aka (purely as a structure towards Ruby, I don't insituate any romantic interest between Aqua and Miyako!)
Sure, at the moment they both are brother and sister. And it's absolutely fair to assume that she listens to him like a sister would to a much older brother. This is a fair viewpoint and I wouldn't argue against it. But as the story progresses and they will in one way or another learn about their past lifes things might shake up, get complicated and at last maybe resolve in a mutual understanding the relation they both always seeked from each other can finally become true. And I'm sorry to tell some of you: It's not a romantic relationship and never had been. So under the impression that this reveal will totally take place at some point we can see that the association between them as brother and sister is temporary, while the father and daughter question will emerge as a realization process of who they are and what their relation was as Gorou and Sarina. Now it gets very interesting...

Gorou and Sarina
"But Sarina said she loves Gorou and wants to marry him!" - I mean think about it: Isn't this also not another childish and cliché thing to say for a young girl that she want's to marry her father because Papa is the best? The soul of Sarina never got past this stage. Mind you, not the soul of a 12 year old. She was mentally even younge than that due to her hospitalization. And mind how Aqua would show astonishment over Ruby's exaggerated joys for the kid's playground. Definitely not a 12 year old girl.
But now Gorou is dead and the childish romantic idea was burried with him. By this she was forcefully pulled out of the gridlock that the childlike "Sarina-soul" opposed on Ruby's sexual development (the detachment of the father-figure as the most important male figure and the development of a differentiated love interest in a male that doesn't carries the "father" token). Right now however it doesn't look good for her development. The attachement she felt towards Gorou as Sarina has now after she learned about his death turned back on her as a depressing self-destructive death wish. And as of the latest chapters (119) nothing really changed in regard of the sexual development thus the passing of Gorou imposes such a hard and persistent trauma on her. In Sigmund Freud's theory he fundamentally opposes "thanatos" (death drive) to "eros" ( the tendency toward survival, propagation, sex, and other creative, life-producing drives). Since Sarina couldn't develope past the mental stage of attaching "eros" to "father" the total absense of the "father" through Gorous death nudged ruby into the dark hole of "thanatos", "the drive toward death and destruction, often expressed through behaviors such as aggression, repetition compulsion, and self-destructiveness" (Wikipedia)

But there is hope
... and the hope is born out of the structure of Aqua's identity and his biological relation to Ruby. A brother and a father are both under the incest prohibition, therefore the token of "brother" can evolve to "father" when she learns that Aqua is actually Gorou. This fact will help Ruby with her psychological development since the blood-related relation prohibits any more confusing feelings that she carries as Sarina towards Gorou. The fact that Gorou reincarnated as a blood relative is the structural initiating for Ruby's overcoming of the childlike attachement to the father as the main male love interest. In Aqua's flesh Ruby can reflect unadulteraded the true nature of Gorou as a father. Gorou as a father never left her, he was right after her reincarnation at her side and looking after her in the flesh of her twin brother.
Structurally the plot has established everything we need so that they can resolve in a mutual understanding the relation they always seeked from each other: Sarina a kind of daughter for the loner Gorou and Gorou a carrying and loving father for her. It's almost like fate. It's almost as if they are destined. Almost as if perhaps he should think about more why his soul was reincarnated in this body like the crow girl said to him.

The "Grandfather"
Lets return for a moment back to Aqua and Miyako's couch sessions (please no intrusive thoughts here!). Normally this should've been Ichigo's part, right? He should've been Ruby's adoptive dad, but he disappeared. So the fact that an adoptive father is physically absent insinuates that Aqua intentionally took over not only the part of a brother but - and he can because he is mentally and from life experiences point of view capable to carry that task out - also functions of a father figure.
However after Ruby's dark awakening, things change drastically. Ruby started to go out on her own and mark her place in the world. At the same time Aqua who finally felt relieved from his guilt went on mining his own business. Dark Ruby indeed somewhat didn't bothered to look for advice from Aqua but at the same time as you all know crows would lead her to.... Ichigo! And isn't this interesting?
Dark Ruby has very ambitious goals. She is devious, she wants to get famous as fast as possible. At the same time she now relies on advice of a man who should have but wouldn't be her adoptive father while at the same time Aqua's father-token disappears. The Aqua-Father is an always supportive advicer "father figure" for the innocent and idealistic Ruby, for "the girl that just wants to have fun" while Ichigo-Father has become the "experienced adviser" for the career focussed lying and dirty playing Ruby.
This is a maybe bit unfair towards Ichigo . He truely gave his best to be a father-figure for Ai back in the day . So it's not like he couldn't perform a father-figure for white starigan Ruby when he gets back together with Miyako. But I don't like the arbitrariness of this. He didn't raise Ruby. He didn't spend almost two decades to accompany her in her life. Aqua did though. It would be unnatural to assume Ruby could just turn a switch and accept Ichigo as a full fletched father-figure, when she returns to her white starigan path. Bonding doesn't work like this. So I think symbolically Aka implies a natural limitation of Ichigo's importance for Ruby's psyche. She needed him during her dark phase and this is were the relationship should stop. It's business. He is the cliché "Grandparent" who gives the child extra pocket money behind the parent's back. So I dismiss this possibiliy in itself but of course moreso because of everything I wrote so far regarding Aqua/Goru and Ruby/Sarina.

The mutual dismissal of the family contract
Right now we are in the middle of the collision between dark Ruby and dark Aqua. They mutually agreed to dismiss the family contract that supposedely was held together through their relation to their Idol Ai. And this is understandable. They both are on the path of "Thanatos" and see all human relations through this lense. For right now Aqua is for Ruby almost like a stranger. These are not just anger filled impulsive reactions that she shows but psychologically related to the loss of Gorou.
While she was hoping that Gorou is alive she attached a "pseudo-father" Token to Aqua in the form of a brother, when she learned that Gorou is dead there was no token anymore attached to Aqua at all. The fact that her relation to Aqua changed that drastically over the death of Gorou goes to show that indeed like I proposed Aqua always intuitively felt like a father type of guy in Ruby's life. She never had an interest to attach a resilient "brother" token to him. But since she hasn't developed past the "father as love interest" she would lose any drive to tokenize Aqua as someone important. Recklessly she would bash into his TV-Show and and plot her own games for her own "Thanatos" drivin benefits. So her dismissal of their bond feld rather natural to her: When she felt betrayed by him she not just pushed him around like a stranger but even pushed him away like stranger.
And a mirrored problem occurs in Aqua's "Thanatos". On this path his relation to Ruby is abandonable through the self-sacrifice. The dark path negates the "pseudo-daughter" token that used to be attached to Ruby. This token would be a barrier for him, because it implies "eros" and stops the influence of "Thanatos" - as long as this token is present he couldn't sacrifice himself because of his obligations as a father towards a daughter. However it isn't anymore, he is on his dark path without any "eros". Thus his "reasoning" of how he needs to be extra repulsive towards the people close to him is the kind of behaviour you would expect from people who just want to alienate strangers. Ruby has become a stranger to Aqua in the sense that she doesn't carry the family token as a daughter type anymore.
They mutually dismissed the family contract. However the realization that they are Gorou and Sarina is the only path left to turn the relationship around and establish the relation they always seeked from each other.

Closing words
If we assume that the Gods wanted to reincarnate Sarina in order to fulfill her wishes and fix that girl after she was left dying by her parents in a rural mountain hospital then - as cruel as it might sound - killing Gorou was kinda essential to the plot.
She was reincarnated with her memories and personality so with it she also carried the burden of her trauma. Since Sarina's developemental psyche was fixed in place her obsession for Gorou would only grow. If we want to be even more philosophical about it we could even assume that because Aqua had such a father like influence over Ruby's life that this was like food for her obsession over Gorou.... This is very scary stuff!
But the Gods surely had no interest to fullfill a wish that was born from sick and abused childhood - The god's know that she seeked a father in Gorou not a lover... The fact that Aqua's behaviour as a father and not as a lover would gain momentum in Ruby's obsession is kinda the proof for that. However this unresolved Trauma developed into an obsession over Gorou.
But such a love with Gorou is a mere illusion. Gorou would have rejected her tbh. At the time Ruby turned 16 he would've been in his 40s close to 50s or something? They would both find out that this aint gonna work for good. So if he did not die as Gorou it would just have crushed Ruby because being rejected by your idolized father-god is like finding his corpes. But the latter comes with Gorous reincarnation as Aqua in which the Gods created a blood relative to Ruby as a base framework for a healthy father and daughter relationship.
And quite frankly the main reason why this wouldn't work is because she is - carrying this trauma- simply not even capable to have a healthy mature relationship between loving adults. Can't even begin to imagine how she would flip out and go insane if Gorou rejecte her...
Gorou was the only father-figure in her life. And even if he did not die at that night, Ai probably would have. And Ichigo would have disappared again. So in the scenario where Gorou lives as Gorou, Ruby would literally just again be raised without a father.
The gods want her happiness and crucial to it is to become a matured healthy and psychologcially intact adult. It's the total opposite of her tragic fate as Sarina. So eventually she finds love from a mother (Miyako) a father (Aqua) and is mentally prepared to open herself up to fall in love with somebody as a matured woman, not an abused hospitalized child that seeked parental attachment.

So.. This is somewhat my prediction on what Aka is cooking in regard of their resolution.
So... Melt becomes Ruby's bf confirmed??? :)

2023.05.25 20:09 Grrrth_TD Brewery or beer recommendations in Bloomington, Indiana?

Going to Bloomington for the weekend and want some good beer. Looking on Google Maps, most of the reviews about the breweries are about their food. I like all types of beer, but places with some good sours would be great considering it's getting warm. Also, are there any that aren't also restaurants?
Thanks!
