@Lo_to141 Hello! Thanks for taking the time to write all this. Indeed, it's been a considerable time since I've updated...While I don't want to say I've stopped completely, but I have been busy with various things, although thoughts of updates have been at the back of my mind. Perhaps one day, but for now, as thanks for writing all these words of support, I will offer some thoughts regarding my creation process.
Roselia is, in some sense, not an individual that possess the traits of a main character. She is someone who is exceedingly normal, and by her own words, smart enough to realize she's not smart enough. She is a person who gives into her inner desires to be lazy, and I think she realizes that herself. A person who always love to push her problems to her future self. In some sense, she's like a reflection of our weakest selves, always giving into our inner laziness. Even so, I think, she tries her best, yet over time, she has slowly come to be affected by the thoughts of Eden. The very place she has built has come to slowly influence her ideals, and perhaps she no longer possess the nature of a normal person. That being said though, the part that really resonated with me when I created her was, she is a person that we can all yell at her and go "why didn't you think of that!?", and that bit is very much intentional, because it felt compelling in a certain way for her to be made as the inverse of hindsight. A person blind to the future, I suppose.
Nia, on the other hand, was the inverse of Roselia. An individual that acknowledges her weaknesses, but never stops moving forward. Perhaps it is on the other extreme. She keeps on moving, and never knows when to stop. She runs without stopping, and now her punishment is an endless road to run. A sense of irony, I suppose.
I hope that at least some of these behind the scene thoughts has briefly satisfied your appetite for the story, and may we meet again some day when I update :)
