What if Vox ruined Alastor?

I've seen it countless times that people said Alastor just 'used' Vox and even rejected Vox proposing, or even trying to date him, but what if we switch it?

Alastor truly thought that his friendship with Vox was genuine. He spent time with him all the time. Vox was one of his first friends in hell. (Mimzy doesn't count as they knew each other before they died) Alastor even shared everything with Vox, secrets, personal things, insecurities, everything. Unfortunately, Vox was only 'using' Alastor to be friends for a little bit, so they'd jump right into a sexual relationship.

One night, Vox, thinking they were finally in the 'romance zone' tricked Alastor into coming to The V Tower, to his room to spend time together, but in reality, he only wanted sex.

That's when Alastor finally realized, all this time, Vox never really wanted to be friends, he only viewed him as a sex toy.

This was also the same time Vox and Valentino were friends, and Val could've been involved in this a little as well.

The very next day, after Alastor found out how Vox really viewed him, he could've asked Alastor to join their team. Of course, Alastor denies it, and that's how their fight truly took place.

This whole time, Vox never cared for Alastor, in a friendship way. Their whole friendship, gone. Alastor swore to NEVER get manipulated into a relationship like this ever again.

Bachira and Isagi’s Relationship is Doomed (Theory):

With the NEL arc having ended, we’ve seen Isagi “sell his soul”. While to me, what this entails in full is still somewhat unclear, one thing is a abundantly apparent: Isagi is losing the sentimentality he once carried for fútbol. He states it himself- in order to survive as a “talented learner” in a world of geniuses with God-given talents, he needs to become a machine. To claw his way to the top, he can’t just ride along the high of his own abilities anymore. No matter how great he can become, there will always those who with random, natural gifts, like Noel and Loki. No matter how hard he fights, the randomness of fate, luck and genetics will override his efforts simply by existing. Now his only purpose is “absolute victory” at all costs, even if it means sacrificing the fundamentals of what being a egotistical striker once meant to him.

How does this relate to Bachira? To start, his and Isagi’s play styles have always been polar opposites. Isagi uses his analytical skills to make up for his lack of notable physicality, while Bachira relies on his dribbling and off-brand instincts, following the unique, sporadic ideas that spur from his monster. However, the two still inherently understand and complement each other from their shared passion. Despite taking the ruthless journey to become number one, they share a love for the game and each other. They want to see each other improve and feed off of each other’s egos. This is why Isagi fills (filled?…) the void of Bachira’s monster. Their greatest strengths are also their greatest weaknesses, too- Isagi feeling like a second fiddle sheep for his lack of physical gifts, and Bachira’s crazy visions never being understood, isolating him from others- they balance each other out that way.

However, the passion they both once shared has fundamentally changed. Isagi most likely will not view the way he can grow off Bachira’s development in the same light. He won’t view any other players’ talents being steppingstones for his own in the same manner, either. Now, he must take in everything around him like a computer, nothing has personal can be at stake for him anymore, and no relationships can serve him beyond what lies directly in front of him. The sentimentality he and Bachira once he does not serve his new nihilistic mindset. If all the hard work in the world can be outdone simply by lucky genetics, is it even worth it? To outdo fate itself and become the best striker in the world, he has to sacrifice the hope and passion he once shared with Bachira. To make nothing off-limits to win, nothing has to be off-limits to lose, except for total victory itself. Thus, he has to destroy all personal and emotional connections in the game, as they can inherently be a weakness to be exploited; that’s what he’ll be thinking, at least.

We can see this loss of enthusiasm shown in how he refers to himself in the first vs third person at the end of the U-20 vs Japan / NEL arcs respectively. Yoichi Isagi is no longer the scrappy underdog using only his mind to make it up the ranks, he is now the face of the multi-billion dollar soccer corporations, dominating everything that gets in his way. Even to himself, he is just a product, a variable that must be used in whatever way is most optimal to win (16 y/o btw). The bright enthusiasm and determination in his eyes have dulled, being replaced with a cold, distant stare. Instead of the hope he carries for Japan being represented by him in jersey, he is dressed up and is “presentable”, as the only thing on his mind is the business of total victory. The sins of his choices literally surround him, encasing him in darkness, in comparison to the enlightening hope he once carried.

This is not what he bonded over with Bachira. Bachira has assumedly remained true to himself during the NEL, honing in his skills, creativity and ego while still holding a deep love for the sport. We’ll see if this will be enough for him to make it further, as I think it’s unclear if Bachira falls into the category of either “talented learner” or “genius” that Isagi has roped all great players into. Thus, their conflicting ideologies will now inevitably clash, the calculating puppet master vs the free-spirited monster. Before, they were enthusiastic to grow off of each other and take down those who stood in their way, while paying respect to their enemies’ talents. But now, their relationship has no merit in that regards. It is unclear if Isagi will still be equal to Bachira’s monster- was he only able to before because of the untapped potential and passion he held? Will he still be able to predict Bachira’s heart of playfulness with his own cold, detached soul?

Whatever the answer may be, the two cannot maintain their healthy relationship as it once was. In fact, codependency, not just on others, but on one’s own sense of self, is a theme VERY persistent in Blue Lock. Most clearly, we see it in Reo and Nagi. While Reo still held onto his love for Nagi, he was able to flourish as his own player independently. However, Nagi was too afraid and too comfortable to explore his own self worth without Reo and inevitably failed because of that (to Bachira nonetheless, that feels intentional.) Meanwhile, Kaiser and Ness’ development is the opposite of that. Kaiser eventually leaves Ness’ lapdog clinginess for his own similar “absolute” desire for victory against mad geniuses. In his despair, the once subservient Ness makes a play that Kaiser couldn’t catch. The god, once high and mighty in Ness’ eyes, was outsmarted because of his lack of faith and creativity in his former servant. However, Ness still places trust in Kaiser afterwards, now (assumedly) on equal grounds with his former “master”. In the pits of despair, Ness’ once toxic codependency for Kaiser brought both of them to rock bottom, and in that pit, they found the strength to make each other equals.

Reo / Nagi are a pitfall of what Isagi / Bachira could’ve became, and Kaiser / Ness moved up from R/N and became what I/B once was (can you tell I’m getting tired of typing all their names over and over). Now, Isagi and Bachira’s relationship is becoming something different, something worse. Imagine a spectrum of codependency, if you will: Nagi/Reo fall on one side, where their relationship fails because one of them got too comfortable. Kaiser/Ness falls in the middle, because they’ve reached a level of mutual understanding and respect. Isagi/Bachira were once that, but now they’ve crossed over to the other end- their relationship will fail because the basis of what it once was has changed too much.

Where will this leave the two of them by the end? Truly, I don’t know, only time will tell. Something to consider, though, is Snuffy’s words to Barou. Mick Moon killed himself because he made futbol his everything, and had nothing to fall back on when he failed. After hitting rock bottom, Snuffy took the steps to work on his sense of self, which propelled him to his greatest heights, while still being able to be truly happy both in and outside of fútbol; Mick Moon couldn’t find the heart to do that, as he made soccer his entire reason for existing. Isagi is currently following in Mick’s footsteps more than anything. While he may not end up as dire as Mick, if he fails, what will he have? His relationship with Bachira will crumble the same way Snuffy and Mick’s did. If he continues down the path he is on right now, Isagi has two options- to become the next Mick Moon- distraught and agonized by the failure of his own ego- or to become the next Noel Noa- the greatest player alive who (assumedly) sacrificed his sense of personal happiness to become a goal scoring machine.

Extra Tidbit:

This is just my personal theory because he’s my favorite character, but I don’t think Bachira falls strictly into either category of learner or genius. He has the “God-given” gift, not of his dribbling, but of his innate sense of unique and creative plays. Only he and Isagi- for the time being- can understand them (geez audhd allegory much) and it is an edge other players don’t have. But at the same time, the isolation he experienced as a kid, and the fact that his monster often prohibits him from being able to play well with others are all a set back. Thus, he has to adapt and rework his sense of self constantly, compared to the geniuses whose talents give them an automatic edge (I’M LOOKING AT YOU, LOKI). In this way, he is also a talented learner. I’d say Nagi is a little similar to Bachi in this regards, as well. He does have natural talent, but got locked off bc he didn’t focus on honing them in for his own gain. The main obstacle to that was the fact that it’s hard for him to actually care in the first place, which would mean that’s the obstacle that could make him a learner, as well. However, his downfall could also be a commentary on taking your given gifts for granted, so I guess it could go either way. Regardless, I really do think there is substantial evidence to suggest that Bachira might be the exception to Isagi’s current idea of fútbol players. Hell, I might even go as far to say this proves there’s maybe a 10% chance Bachira actually might win and become Blue Lock’s best striker, but that’s just my biases talking. I hope anyone who’s read this far enjoyed this yap session <3

Something I Noticed About Soul Gems

This is more so my own interpretation rather than an observation, but the way the shell of a Soul Gem is structured reminds me of a bird cage.

Especially with this image from the Magia Record Manga.

Idk, I like the idea, but do you think it has any weight? Thoughts?

[saveholder-papyrus-theory]

Sans and papyrus have powers related to text/Google document functions

Allow me to explain them:

Cursor: looks like bone

Names: sans and papyrus font

Blue bone attack: text color change

Blue magic: highlight text

Flying: drag and drop text

"Shortcuts" (teleportation): cut and paste (ctrl+x - ctrl+v)

I feel like this explains mostly everything about their powers

( Technically, save and load is a Google/ Microsoft function as well, but I'm just gonna ignore that for now...)

[haute-pockette]

Theory: The spy is the character you pick in the beginning

My only evidence? A lot of the characters' lines before they jump from the balcony sound like they made a mistake/trying to make up for something. "We were just playing out a fixed match. And I was nothing but a figure head all along..." - Jin

"You simply cannot help but stick your nose in everywhere, can you? ... I'm counting on you to handle the fallout." - Tohma

"I'm sorry... Yet again, I've failed to protect the people most important to me... Please don't make that face. This is the only path left." - Luca

"What're you doing here? Geez... What else am I supposed to do, huh? I'm the only guy for the job." - Sho

"I just couldn't do it in the end. I couldn't protect my home, or you guys, or anything at all..." - Haru

"This is exactly why I didn't want to do this! I knew this was how it was gonna end!" - Ren

"Tell me something, would you? What could you have done differently to change this outcome?" - Taiga

"I see you've guessed my intention. It's of little consequence. I suggest you get as far from here as possible. Father... I was unworthy to be your son. I hope you can forgive me." - Ritsu

"This is all my fault. I don't expect you to forgive me, but this is the least I can do... Please take this as my final act of good faith." - Subaru

"Sorry. Guess I couldn't be the guy you wanted me to be. Haha... Don't look like that. Never lost faith in me, did you?" - Haku

"I knew this day would come. It's a little earlier than I expected, perhaps. I'll shut those lowly creatures up-- Their bleating is unbearable. You can thank me in the next life." - Edward

"Dammit! Get back! You're a human, you're s'posed to run away! This is my mess to fix. I'm gonna drag 'em all to hell." - Lyca

"There's no coming back from this. I will struggle until it's over though. Dying always looks like it hurts. I hope I can save you at least, but don't get your hopes up. Bye." - Jiro

Basically I think they are the spy but not willingly/under duress. They decide to make up for the fact by sacrificing themself at the end. The spy technically isn't the real culprit, maybe a teacher is pulling the chosen character's strings or such. IDK cause I'm not sure how well that would work with the whole story mode of the game but :shrug: it's what I got.

› 𝑇𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘋𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘰 is a large cross made from gold and gemstones from the goldmine in El Dorado. The cross was commissioned by Spanish conquistadores for Spain and was being brought on their vessel back to Europe. As the vessel sank, the Cross of Santo Domingo was saved by the crew onboard the 𝘙𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵 on order by 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘓𝘪𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘺. As the Royal Merchant sank outside 𝘖𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴, 𝘋𝘦𝘯𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘺 brought the cross ashore and hid it in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘊𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩. The Cross of Santo Domingo was encased in wood and camouflaged as one of the ceiling beams.

› The Cross of Santo Domingo is forgotten as the church is abandoned but is eventually discovered by the Pogues after following several clues left by Denmark Tanny. But when they are forced to leave the cross, 𝘙𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘯 and Renfield take it to Carla Limbrey. After Renfield's death Rafe brings the Cross of Santo Domingo to 𝘛𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘺𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘭 and then on 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘝𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦. The Pogues tries to steal the Cross of Santo Domingo from onboard the boat but fail. Pope then tries to dump it in the ocean, but the cross is saved by Rafe. The Camerons bring the Cross of Santo Domingo to their island, but Ward starts to doubt himself and decides he wants to donate the Cross of Santo Domingo to a museum in the US as a way to atone for his sins. Rafe, however, protests and claims he has ownership of the Cross of Santo Domingo. When Ward tries to ship the Cross of Santo Domingo, both the Pogues and Rafe intend to intercept it. After a daring chase, the Pogues get away with the box marked with the shipment information of the cross, only to find out that Rafe and Barry have beaten them too it.

› Rafe and Barry decide to melt the Cross of Santo Domingo in order to sell the gold and gems. In a homemade oven in Barry’s backyard, the Cross of Santo Domingo is melted down.

› Added to the lore in season 4, Rafe claims the cross was not made of solid gold but only gold plated.

› With the Royal Merchant’s gold already found, Outer Banks' teens go on a search for the Cross of Santo Domingo, which happens to be based on an episode of The Lone Ranger. Outer Banks season 2 follows the Pogues as they try to clear John B’s name, retrieve the gold stolen by Ward, and find the new relics of the Royal Merchant before a historic South Carolina family can first. As more of the island’s secrets are uncovered, the Netflix show’s teens face their most dangerous adventure yet.

› The Pogues discover that the $400 million in gold wasn’t the only treasure Denmark Tanny hid in North Carolina’s Outer Banks, he also stashed the valuable Cross of Santo Domingo and its corresponding key that opens a hatch to the holy garment. Once Pope finds out that the key has been in his family for generations because of his relation to Denmark Tanny, he makes it his personal mission to retrieve the Cross and avenge his ancestors. The search for the Cross takes the Pogues on an even more harrowing journey than Outer Banks season 1 as they face trouble from alternate parties that want it for its riches and supernatural healing power.

› While the Royal Merchant is loosely based on a real-life shipwreck, the Cross of Santo Domingo in Outer Banks season 2 is derived from a fictional relic of the same name in a 1956 episode of The Lone Ranger, aptly titled “The Cross of Santo Domingo.” In the episode, the Lone Ranger tracks down a group of thieves who steal the holy cross with the intention of selling its encrusted jewels. A priest from Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic comes to return the cross to its home, citing its power to bring happiness and good fortune to the town. The cross is tracked down by the Western series’ masked Ranger and is safely returned to its people.

› In The Lone Ranger, the Cross of Santo Domingo is less than a foot tall, isn’t plated in gold, and only houses a few rare jewels worth about $100k to its finder. The cross has much higher stakes for the Outer Banks characters, being plated in gold, seven feet tall, and encrusted in diamonds, which is worth about $1 billion by its hunters’ estimates. Another difference is that in Outer Banks, the cross was a gift from Spain that was being transported on the Royal Merchant, whereas on The Lone Ranger, it had been stolen long ago after being in the possession of a Santo Domingo church.

› After the Lone Ranger finally tracks down the location of the cross, the events that follow may actually give a clue to the events of Outer Banks season 3. The jeweler who initially had the cross wanted to sell the cross to pay for doctors to cure his young son Timmy’s illness, which has left him wheelchair-bound. An outlaw threatens to harm the jeweler if he doesn't hand over the cross, leading Timmy to miraculously stand up from his chair and hand over the relic. The Lone Ranger and the family deduce that the healing powers of the cross only worked because Timmy gave it up for selfless reasons. If this same rule applies to Outer Banks, Carla Limbrey, who only wants the cross to cure her own illness and keep herself alive, will have to be completely selfless to achieve such a gift, where her actions were only self-motivated in Outer Banks season 2.

Wip based on a really funny theory by @kingdom-infinitim!

[kitteninatux]

Something I really think people fail to consider for Post-Game Undertale is how the value of gold fluctuates

Since using G (gold) to make transactions is traditional for the economy of the underground. How would the humans react to the sudden influx of such an expensive and precious metal- what would happen to at the very least- the local economy? It’s already a given that Monsters would be able to adapt and improve the work on certain careers (ex: Grillby being a fire elemental monster can give him an advantage with cooking- due to his first hand knowledge of it.)

But what would that all entail for the humans in the area surrounding Mt. Ebott? There would certainly be a struggle on pricing the new value of gold after they all found out there was an entire underground supply of it. In my personal opinion, I think the most canon bet to it (assuming from the end credits) would be that Monsters are all conveniently rich and treated with confidentiality.

Kind of like

“Hey! If you give us all that gold you gathered and used in the underground, then we’ll trade ya some property and housing arrangements!”

Because Toby fox would absolutely pull some fourth wall breaking jokes with that. And Temmie would somehow make us cry over how majestic it was.

With that logic it’s also funny to imagine a scenario where either Genocide Frisk or Asgore slaying Frisk comes up to the surface ridiculously rich.

At the end of Detective Conan, I imagine Vermouth/Sharon's conclusion with her sacrificing herself to save Shinichi and Ran. S

he pushes them out of the way, taking the bullet. As he tries his best to stop the bleeding, Shinichi asks her why she would do such a thing.

Vermouth gives a rare, gentle smile.

"Is a reason necessary? When someone helps another person out, there's no rational thinking... Those were your words, right?"

She passes away, and Shinichi realizes that Vermouth was the silver-haired man from all those years ago. Ran also realizes why this strange woman called her Angel.

During the confusion, backup arrives. Before they take them away from the scene, the teens lower their heads before her, thanking her for saving their lives.

Smg4 Theory! WARNING: SMG4 SPOILERS FOR NEW EPISODE/IGBP DOWN BELOW

Comment your thoughts on the theory!

Am I the only one who genuinely thinks Smg4 is greedy? Like ACTUALLY greedy? Especially recently, which is why I’m worried…we’ve been seeing his It’s Gotta Be Perfect models a lot recently.

He freaks out at people whenever he’s not able to get to a computer or do his work, and he hyperfocuses on his work.

If you look at the model for his room, you can see there are still takeout food bags everywhere, and trash and garbage.

Whether it’s because of IGBP, or Mr Puzzles, is unknown. But even so, it’s worrying. Like how in the newest episode, he freaked out at Tari and Mario for breaking all the computers. I understand getting upset because of not being able to finish a deadline, but he completely freaked out at Tari when she had the last computer.

And it seemed like his greed overtakes him really easily. One minute, he’s happy, the next, he’s freaking out at someone over some sort of his work.

And we can see VERY CLEARLY that Tari was terrified of 4 because of this freak out. Also, the colour shining behind 4 is the same colour as the cracks on his face in IGBP

No clue where this leads to, but it can’t be good for 4…

Anyways thanks for listening to my theory/rant :D

Have a good day my loves! \(^ヮ^)/

Dollhouse Theory

Dollhouse theory is the idea that in gen loss, which is considered the "spiritual successor to Jermas dollhouse" by the creators, is also treated as such in the genloss canon.

During ep 1 of TSE we get to see the Jermas dollhouse model that's kept in the basement.

this could originally be considered an easter egg but TFC dives a little deeper into it, adding a short flashback audio similar to how they treat the mask in the beginning of ep 1. With the double down, I think its fair to make the actual theory on it.

all this considered i have a proposition. I think Jermas dollhouse was a trial experiment. that this was them testing out the idea of puppeteering a protagonist, and that Jerma was the first showfall victim.

In Dollhouse they play with the lore concept of Jerma being controlled but they don't lean hard into it. by the time that TSE rolls around showfall would have perfected the technology, the set is made much much bigger, and Jerma has gotten recast as The Puzzler. we know that the puzzler is part of the cast and not a showfall employee since during sneegs hat scene Jerma, Ray, and Sykkuno get paused right alongside the rest of the cast but the camera rats and suites are free to move. its also a good visual of showfall actually holding true to their word and recasting someone from a past show.

for obvious reasons, this theory is made out of enjoyment for the connection but needs to be taken with a grain of salt since genloss was written well after Dollhouse, and its suggested we don't look too deep into Dollhouse for lore on genloss. -Tophat

old art again!! this time a rough animation of sawyer and yarnaby 😎 (looks better if u click to view 😭)

im working on a short ppt animation rn. im thinking i should post it to my youtube channel, though im not sure if people here would see it. i think i can link videos on here?? idk

okay I'm gonna talk abt more chapter 4 stuff.. this time about prototype's previous identity.. ch4 spoilers and also a theory below..

hiding the solo yarnaby under here LOL

people theorized 1006 was elliot, which was recently disproven in the chapter 4 tape where poppy refers to elliot as her dad and wishes he were there. in the same tape she addresses prototype as a completely different person. also recall that elliot died in the 90s, meanwhile prototype met theo in 1989. so yeah, they aren't the same person

I've also seen people say rich is prototype, which cannot be true either. in a ch4 tape he speaks to one of the employees under his supervision. the kid mentions his coworkers joking about him going missing. before the bbi, it would not make sense for this to be a common rumor at the company, which means this tape had to happen after harley was hired in 1990; at a time when the company would have a reason to silence people

prototype existed in 1989 at the minimum, but considering he says "it's always been about you and me" to poppy, he's likely the prototype of HER. she's elliots daughter, she died in the 60s, meaning prototype was probably created around that time as well.

this means that rich can't be the prototype because he was human long after prototype was made

if you want my take on who prototype truly is, i'd say his identity doesn't necessarily matter. i don't mean to say his origins aren't important, just that his name and specific role in the past probably doesn't mean anything in the long run. i've never believed he was elliot or rich, and maybe in the future i'll be proven wrong but for now i'll tell you the theory i've had since june of last year

elliot's daughter dies in the 60s. he divorced his wife in 1930, so his daughter is probably in her 30s when she dies. she gets sick or injured, maybe she's actively dying or already dead by the time elliot begins his research. he looks for ways to bring her back, but it doesn't work on the rats (as he mentioned a note in the 2nd chapter)

so what does he do? he tries it on something bigger as he said he would: a human. of course he's not going to try this experimental method on his own daughter, even if she's already dead, so he finds someone else to use it on. we know that elliot wasn't evil or anything, so it's unlikely he killed anybody to use for the experiment. considering the orphanage isn't open yet (it opened in the 70s, not the 60s), prototype probably wasn't an orphan child either. if i run with my simple version of the theory, elliot may have dug up a body in a graveyard and used that. maybe a fresh one, who knows. he tried it, it worked, then he revived his daughter with the same method.

this is likely what harley wanted to know about in the chapter 3 tape (the "i learn something new about you every day" one), and also what prototype is asking harley to figure out in the ch4 tape they're both in. in that case, sawyer never actually figured out how to revive people with the poppy substance. sure, he can transfer people into the toys, but he can't bring anybody back to life

more reason to believe prototype and poppy are of the same "batch" is because it seems they are the only two who don't need food. it's outright stated about him in the ch1 trailer, and insinuated with her saying the "toys will starve otherwise" when she's talking about how nasty them eating humans is. she refers to them, not herself. her and prototype are probably the only 2 who were ever brought back from the dead, which circles back around to his monologue and gives meaning to the "it's always been about you and me, poppy. what we are". when i heard him say that i felt like my theory was lowk confirmed 😭😭

no guarantee this is right, but it's been my guess for a long time

But this whole time, This. Whole. Time.

[justgivemeteaandbooks]

This...right here...this falls into my crackpot(?) theory. We still don't know how Koshei fits into all this and SJM insists that Nestas story is not done yet so my theory is this:

We pretty much have a consensus that Nesta is Starborn reborn from the cauldron (to restore balance in the magic in Pyrithian?) The death gods knew of her when she emerged, so it would not be a stretch to say that Koshei knows as well. Koshei collects unique women (the phenix and the swans) so what if he wants Nesta for her Starborn abilities for, I dont know, maybe to open a way out of his lake prison, who the heck knows. While Nesta is at her lowest (say from a bad experience from a certain HOFAS bonus scene) and she does leave, but Koshei finds her as well. IC figures it out and Cassian loses his mind (he better) and insists on going to find her.

It would be all the better if he actually fought Rhys on this (and I mean physical blows) but thats just because I am petty and want everyone that has been critical of Nesta the past 2-3 years to get their noses rubbed in it so to speak.
