There’s something about how Shining’s family treats Nightingale not as a person but as a thing to be discarded and rebuilt, and how it frames how her family views her relationship with Liz, and her actions. Because every time there together we see just how much Shining cares about Liz to the point where her future is planned around what Liz wants more then anything. But to Salus and Confesarious Liz is just a doll for Shining to play with and is seen as nothing more as a way to keep Shining around nothing more then that.
Even Shining freeing Liz and escaping with her is seen as nothing more then a minor inconvenience for them because of course there her real family so of course Shining will grow out of this phase and come back to them. Her whole relationship with Liz is seen as not real to them because of course her relationship with some random woman isn’t meaningful since she’s just a temporary and easily replaceable thing. Also theres a lot that can be read into with how this is all written, but it does feel like there are some implications that to Salus and Confesarious the only thing that matters to Shining about Liz is her body and not her as a person.

My Next Project
Only actually got her relatively recently, I believe during Il Siracusano pulls maybe? I forget.
Regardless she's been on the backburner for a minute now and the time is right to build her since I'm in a holding pattern until Mumu drops.

more post chapter 13 shiningale under read more cause I have even more thoughts about one thing in specific.
Okay so let's talk about what exactly Liz is since I've seen two common interpretations to it both of which are super interesting in their own way.
Liz actually is Shining's childhood friend like the few fragments of memories she has showed that at some point died, and Shining brought her back intentionally by implanting her soul into a new body (which seems to the research Salus was doing) but as Salus mentioned they have trouble taking a soul out of the collective consciousness alone so her memories are a mess and mixed in with the memories of other sarkaz. Which just like the idea of a Shining so distraught and heart broken over the loss of the woman closest to her to the point where she would go so far as to bring her back is just *chefs kiss*.
2. Or we go full Pygmalion and Liz is purely a person made by Shining during her research and the memories she has of them being childhood friends and playing by the lake are purely crafted by Shining out of some feeling of compassion/love for Liz. If they really wanted to go the dark twisted love route for Shining this would be such a good way to take it.
Personally her trust 3 line makes me think it might be the first more just cause it implies she lost someone really close to her. But either way this direction for them is so good, and I really hope we get a follow up soon.
