On why Vueko did not join Riko and Reg's team.

Vueko represent the past, Faputa the present.

Vueko wish is to be with Irumyuui, not having an adventure. If Irumyuui dies, she wants to die with her.

Like, sure Nanachi wants to find Mitty soul at the bottom of the Abyss, because she wants to find her full joyful soul and not just her torture body. I'm not sure Vueko has the same belief, or even it's not the same scenario. To her, Irumyuui was there, whatever her form was, she did not lost her soul to the abyss, the craddle of desire "just" change her physical form.

Also, about that first point. Faputa (future?) story is to find yourself past the inherited trauma. Vueko story is to be loved even if your trauma is still there mostly unresolved. So, it's mostly being with one person more than going on an adventure.

Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun (S2) was a struggle to get through. Too many ideas, so much violence. It was gut wrenching. I started and stopped so many times. One of the things this storyline gets right is the depiction of trauma and how it affects people.

1. Nanachi meeting Mitty’s copy and Vueko seeing the protector of the village (Juroimoh who takes after the man who abused her) both show how traumatic moments recur and manifest. This is a fundamental aspect of trauma, that the incident(s) which caused the trauma will return to the person’s mind against their will and force them to relive their trauma again and again. (Think about vets and fireworks for example). Seeing Mitty again felt like a physical blow - after everything Nanachi went through with her, and the incredibly difficult decision to ask Reg to use his incinerator….here is Mitty again. It was a gut blow.

2. Irumyuui’s trauma (her exile from her village and implied mistreatment because she is infertile) shapes her wishes when she is given the cradle of desire. Her first wish (to have children) deforms her body and reduces her entire being to a birthing vessel. This is unresolved trauma corrupting her wishes. Trauma will consume you if you don’t have a productive way of coping with it. You can’t live a full life when your life is oriented around trauma. Irumyuui also shows us that sometimes love, family, and friends are not enough for healing. This is such a painful truth (as I am sure many of us have experienced in our lives). Despite the wonderful relationship she builds with Vueko (and Belaf too I think), her life’s desires remain oriented around what she was told she was lacking… Or perhaps it is that healing does not happen fast and Wazukyan’s actions to save all his people take away the chance for Irumyuui to heal in her own time…

3. We know that trauma is inherited, and generational trauma is real. Irumyuui’s trauma is literally inherited and internalized by her child, Faputa, and nearly consumes Faputa too. (Faputa’s one burning wish is to destroy the village and its inhabitants...)

4. Traumatized/oppressed people can be both victims and perpetrators. Wazukyan and the Ganja squad are an example. A group of misfits/abandoned people, searching for their home and a place to belong, who end up committing/condoning horrific acts against Irumyuui in order to survive. Sometimes homes are built on violence. Victims can/do use trauma or their own survival as justification to oppress others. Even though some of them feel guilt, Vueko is the only one who attempts to remove herself from the situation - unfortunately by trying to commit suicide. (Wazukyan feels like Christopher Columbus sometimes, and the indigenous people living near the abyss as parallels to the indigenous peoples in the Americas… Wazukyan is an important reminder that power dynamics are not static. I’m not sure if he is traumatized/someone who has experienced violence like other members of his squad but even if he has, he is the leader now. He exploits a child, imprisons Vueko, and uses their relationship against them.)

Yes Wazukyan please explain how trapping Irumyuui in her own body and Veuko inside her adopted child’s body is ‘crushing injustice.’ The abyss may have enabled what took place but the choice and decision was firmly Wazukyan’s.

5. And in an opposite case, Vueko’s trauma actually leads her to be more empathetic to Irumyuui. Vueko is running from her trauma (she says so plainly in the first episode when she says she is looking for a place where she will no longer hear her abuser’s voice in her head). And her nurturing connection with Irumyuui is one which seems to be healing her. The very first line of the episode has Vueko saying this to Irumyuui about the compass: “Until I met you, there was something I was looking for…” I think she means that the compass led the ganja squad to the abyss but it led Vueko specifically to Irumyuui - as it was meant to. When she hands the compass over to the elder, the panning shot immediately shows us Irumyuui appearing in the dark behind her. Wazukyan and the others needed to descend into the abyss to find their ‘home’ but Vueko has already found what she was looking for in Irumyuui. Relationships can be an important part of healing from trauma but unfortunately, Wazukyan’s actions and the power of the Abyss combine to turn their relationship into a co-dependent one and utterly infused with guilt on Vueko’s part.
