you need to understand limbo is a sakura so in every way shape form seimei must in essence either be an emiyaface (unfailing hero who saves even the evil) or (more likely to me) a kireiface (obsessed with human evils beyond human virtues). nagiko who is implied to be ashiya doumans student who so unfailingly treats him like hes a human before the beast that he is and murasaki the student of seimei who does not deliver seimeis message to douman and despite the hatred there is also empathy. seimei once saved the human ashiya douman but would there be the same mercy for the alter ego limbo? even worse than mercilessness, there might even be fascination with such an empty curse. murasakis narrator spell having been called a prank by seimei but also existing as something that derives the meaning behind peoples actions and words and then setting her up next to limbo in chaldea, letting her borrow the tsuchigumo, the fascination with horror movies that reveal grotesque sides of humanity, seimei who also once exposed and led tamamo to her death when tamamo was also someone never accepted by humans.
nagiko as a parallel to limbo in being so unfailingly human and full of life -> the fascination with "evil" characters like mephistopheles and the desire to see the humanity within them that they are so clearly crying out to understand-> limbo the programming code/grudge who is so empty and devoid of meaning he cant yet understand but is capable of wanting to take that step even if it would be futile
murasaki who is gloomy and isolated yet holds a genuine love for stories and humans -> reference with holmes who is an arbiter of justice that would sacrifice anything to defeat a great evil like moriarty, someone capable of discerning any truth presented but cannot share it -> seimei the jovial man who may appear bright and happy and human but is far more mechanical and empty than even the grudge which follows him, a fascination with evil born entirely to dismantle it
murasaki who does not have it in her to reveal the truth that while lord seimei may have once save the human ashiya douman, there is no such understanding with the empty curse that yearns not for love but for understanding. a limbo which cannot truly revel in human evils because it does not understand human love.
What vindication was there in the skull that limbo presents you. There was no glory in having killed this animal.
moriarty who was the greatest evil holmes had ever faced not because he was inherently so, but because moriarty determined that in order to complete his work he Has to become evil -> ashiya douman who had become evil not because of a desire for evil but because it was the step needed to possibly surpass seimei. an evil force out of its depth. a butterfly longing for humanity caught in the web of an all knowing spider.
