Comment on A Reflection

  1. Honestly? I'm taking Albedo's side in this.

    Is he arrogant? Look at Asscrack, and tell m if they're so different. Like student, like teacher after all.

    Did he make bad decisions after the whole debacle repeatedly? Yes, but that's neither here nor there, since getting into the minutiae of WHY he does things is what I'm talking about.

    Imagine you are going to live a LONG time, and are so hyper intelligent that you're practically a peer to the greatest mind of your species.

    You are now stuck in the body of a creature that not only practically lobotomized you of your intelligence since your brains are nowhere NEAR the same, making you actively feel dumb, but will NOT live for even 40% of your lifespan.

    It's a very cruel punishment, and NOONE should've been okay with that; it doesn't fit the 'crime' at all.

    Said wronged person with their now limited intelligence and an understandable grudge against the beings that cursed them so, decides to...

    Do everything in their power to get their old self back? And you guys don't want that to happen?

    I'm of a thought that Albedo might genuinely be able to get smarter than Azmuth, even if both are lacking in wisdom, and the Great Thinker can't stand that. Because why else would you be so scared of having your student at least be in his own body? Like, can't you jail him the same way afterwards? Hell, it'll even be easier because of his size!

    1. This book, being half in Albedo's perspective, does dive a lot into his perspective on a lot of this stuff. This is post-Omniverse Albedo, who does go off the rails a little bit after failing one time too many, but he's not a monster or some irredeemable being. At the end of the day, he wants everything he lost back.
