Aww they ‘broke up’. That’s sad but…understandable. Hmm, I wonder if this will turn into one of those ‘relationship counseling’ duties we had back in the first game? Please tell me it is cuz I NEED TO KNOW THE DEETS!!!
Clipped from this collection of interactions here (sorry it got cut off at the end) but I can't get over Mel's attitude when she mentions her "petty squabbles" with Nemesis. It's too good to just show without the audio. Love their toxic yuri dynamic going on.
Also Moros is so insightful. Makes sense for the guy who spends his time observing all as the Emissary of the Fates. Wonder if that'll cause conflict later, especially if he gets called out for being too set in his interpretations.
Honestly though, I love all of the happy theories where Zag is just living his best life in the sequel, but so busy with something else he can't be the main character of the game. But at the same time I also want some angst to start with and then have the happy Zag and Mel sibling moments.
(Feel free to use and expand any of these ideas. Frankly, I want to read 10,000 word fanfictions of all of them.)

Ok but I love this discussion between Moros and Nemesis? We learn in a different unrelated interaction that Nemesis has worked with Moros in the past to depart fitting retribution onto some poor schmuck who sought such consequences so this discussion is definitely one where each are familiar with the other's job/role. And each are speaking from the perspective of their own roles here.
Nemesis's job is to see to who gets consequences for their actions and what those consequences are - therefore, from her perspective, it is she is the one who makes those independent decisions. Cause yeah, she's normally the one making them. But Moros is Doom yes but also an emissary of the Fates, and regularly saw how timelines are shaped and even in an unrelated conversation with Mel, confirms sometimes he and the Fates choose to make the interesting Choice just cause they'd like to see it happen. In his perspective, people are not independent actors but a product of the Fates's designs, further reinforced by how he himself was never really an active participant outside of those choices. He was always a watcher, not a do-er. It's so interesting to see these differences in POV here coming from different walks in life.
Also I love how it devolves to basic "no u" sibling convo at the end lmao.
