For a character who is literally the only other Key of Kresnik that we know about, it is crazy how little we know about Cornelia as a person. We don’t even know how her own son felt about her because all Julius says about her is that she’s dead and he only remembers being looked after by Claudia, presumably even when Cornelia was still alive. I thought Cornelia was just your generic nice dead wife and nice dead mother but then. She was 22. Bisley was 15. The game argues that he did legit love her even after her death. What the hell did Claudia think, seeing her older sister have a child with a boy even younger than Claudia herself? What does Julius think about his mother? It doesn’t seem like he really thinks about her at all, he only seems to have good memories of Claudia and his resentment of Bisley has little to do with Cornelia’s death. Or maybe it’s the guilt of having killed Claudia and taking in Ludger that makes Julius fixate more on her.
I have so many questions and I can only make up answers!
#x2#v#i like to headcanon that cornelia had bought in fully to the destiny of the clan thing#and also that she was not a good person#but thats partially bc i have a fic thought where a fractured cornelia is brought into the prime dimension#and julius is just. DEEPLY UNCOMFORTABLE#but not as uncomfortable as he gets when cornelia pinpoints ludger as claudia’s son#cornelia’s talking about the good of the trial and julius just sits ludger down like#dont listen to her. and ludger doesnt really get it but hes like. its fine#bc saving the world is too much. he just wants to help elle and julius#i dont have a point i just think itd be funny to torment julius here#watching not just bisley coerce ludger into helping the trial but fractured cornelia making it sound like something noble and glorious#just the way julius himself had been raised to see the trial as noble#(partially inspired by mauro’s draft here but i do think claudia was the only person who had issues with everything)#(i like the idea of her trying to convince cornelia to talk to her son and cornelia just being too busy destroying worlds for the waymarkers#hearing about the chromatus and seeing julius train to destroy worlds too#not being able to do anything or stop it from happening and when cornelia dies and claudia has ludger she just KNOWS. theres no way to be#safe here. they cant be safe here not with the clan and not with bisley#i do wonder if she ever regretted leaving julius behind. because i like to think she did consider running away with him#but there would be no way they wouldnt immediately be hunted down#and NOW i need to write a fic of the last time julius ever saw claudia#it was probably something mundane... or maybe claudia knew it’d be her last time seeing him and made him one last tomato pasta...#.............. i have so many thoughts
