☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- The thing is, I am one of her twelve students, and we all love her very much, but it is obvious to anyone who knows her well that the path to romance or something more is closed to us. For this reason, I came up with the idea to depict her in this form, so that each of us has the opportunity to feel her presence nearby and thus alleviate the longing for unrequited love. I think that other people may experience similar emotions, even if their objects of adoration are different from ours.

—Ah, I see. It's nice to see that the Knights of the Left Column, in addition to their martial qualities, are also endowed with a variety of creative talents. Now, Her Majesty's wise choice becomes clear to me. As for the main point, thank you, now I better understand the sad and romantic message of your creation, but... Aren't you worried that such a soothing effect will only be temporary, and in the future, it may instead even more intensify the mental anguish? Longing is the first symptom of healing from a heart wound, but if you don't let it run its course, then sadness may stay with you for many years. If the chance for something more is forever closed to a person, it is certainly noble to keep the object of their unattainable aspirations in their heart and surround themselves with it, but perhaps it is worth finding a place for love that is more attainable. Who knows what the future holds, and by focusing only on one infinitely distant ideal, you sometimes risk missing something closer but no less rewarding.
