@DazaiFyodorChuuya yesss that was the idea of what i wanted asura to be, someone strong and tough but also kind and a bit airheaded and naive(?) to the real world who hates change. i too have cried for their relationship since as much as how much i wanted them to see each other together, i like hurting myself emotionally and it involves the troupe, right person, wrong time :) if those two would get together, asura would become static, which is something i don't want in any of my characters. the story would end and then karma and asano's feelings for asura would be unresolved. which is why, the more i have asura interact with the real world and with asano and karma would cause her to change and realize more, which also fulfills azreal's last wish for her. i have an idea of how i want the story to flow, but it's more so of writing it out cohesively and at a pace that will fully describe asura and her journey :')
