Sorry to genshin post again . but focafuri is so so fascinating to me. to make into being the person you want so desperately to be, but to damn them in a way you can only do because they are you. because you know, human or divine, you will always have too much love to give. and to ask that person--human, like you yearn to be, like you never will be--to be divine. to be what you are; to be what they cannot be.

it's a really interesting exploration of self-sacrifice .... what conversation is running through their head, as they give up all of themselves? do they ask, why me? why should i martyr myself for a nation who will not read my story? why should i perform, when they do not see the actor? but the only one who can hear their questions is their own reflection. and that in itself is an answer, is it not?

and there's this element of identity too; focalors is the divine, but yearns to be human. she cannot because furina is her humanity. furina is human, but needs to be the divine. she cannot, because focalors is her divinity. furina is human. she has forgotten how to be. she is still human.

and--in the end, focalors can only give furina the cruelest request she can: live. live, as yourself, because i cannot. i have asked you to endure, and i am asking you again. reprise, but this time, with feeling. encore, mon amour. le salut, un rappel.

Furina/Focalors - Remus similarities & narrative parallels

Both have Latin titles - Remus being Imperator and Furina being Regina. Both are named after figures from Roman mythology - Remus is named after one of the mythological founding twins of Rome, Furina is named after Furrina, a Roman goddess of springs. Both share a love for humanity - Furina being willing to endure 500 years of suffering and Remus being willing to end his own life for a chance to save them. Both share a connection to art/performance - Furina's being theatre/opera and Remus' being music.

Narratively, both were the rulers of a country faced with an unavoidable prophecy in which their country would be flooded and their people would die. Both welcomed a dragon-born to their country, Scylla following Remus out of the Fontemer to witness the future he wanted to bring about, Neuvillette following pre-split!Focalors' invitation to serve as Fontaine's Iudex. Both of these dragon-born are also enamored by their god's respective forms of art - Scylla loving Remus' music and Neuvillette loving Furina's acting. Both Remus' and Focalors' final plans to save their people involved a self-sacrifice to grant the power to their dragon-born ally to change the properties of their peoples' bodies - Scylla was meant to return the Remurians to flesh and blood bodies had Remus' plan worked, Neuvillette used his restored Authority to turn Fontainians into "true humans" as Focalors planned.

Remuria is essentially a Bad Ending AU of the AQ in ancient history.
