#What is traumatizing Euden though in that first one? The world will never know. But he sure looks Shooketh!

Shout-Out to Euden vibing in the background of wyrmprints!

Come on in to this collection of this surprisingly common occurrence, we've got...

-Euden looking like he's seen something that is leaving permanent, deep mental scars and is staring blankly in a direction completely separate and heedless to anything else going on:

-Euden still staring in a completely different direction and has 0% involvement in what's going on in the rest of the wyrmprint picture/story (and disappears entirely in the refined version), but at least he's not apparently being traumatized this time:

-Euden attempting to utilize his non-existent stealth score and pretend he is totally not hovering, guys, by using a potentially empty basket as an excuse:

-Relatedly, Euden having a nice, chill day for once!

-Euden not having a good time but at least it's still not Trauma:

-Euden presumably experiencing the difficulties and terror of customer service at rush hour as customers remain blissfully unaware their server could theoretically order them to be executed if they are rude enough (even if said server wouldn't):

-Euden pleased with himself that he finally nailed that violin part enough to make it so that he doesn't sound like he's strangling a cat this time whilst Luca struggles:

-Shadow Euden before his summer version leaked!??!?!? (yes this is actually Euden even if was remarkably hard to distinguish at first glance from Su Fang's shadow nearby):

-This isn't even a wyrmprint but I still feel the need to include Low-Detail Euden here hauling a huge plate of curry to Midgardsormr in the background:

-Euden's so in the background of this one that they not only forgot to draw him but also only conveyed it's about him through niche references to chapter 6 ideas:

-Last but not least, to end it off on an actual example, Euden playing a dangerous game with balancing mantou:

So...yeah. That's all the instances that I can recall/find of Euden engaged in various activities and experiencing varying moods in the background. Of course, there's plenty more he's in as more of a focal point, but as for truly being in the background, I thought these Eudens deserved their own little mini collection!

@ the anon who @ me because I was upset everyone forgot everything.

Yes, I do want them to remember. Honestly, their bonds that they had before the new world mean so much more since they worked hard to keep it in the first place. But now that bond is just all gone? It feels so empty unsatisfactory to me.

With the Zethia thing, I'd personally want to remember those bad experiences so I can learn from them and grow stronger. But I also don't know if that's what I'd actually want if I was Zethia as I'm just basing my opinion on traumatic past experiences I had. Back then I did wish I could forget everything, but now that I'm stronger and made progress and had good experiences because of those traumatic experiences, I no longer wished to forget those things and accepted they are a part of me. There are some things I think about like how I'd be like if those bad things never happened to me and where I would be now if they didn't happen, but then I think about the people I wouldn't have ever met if and all the good things that came from those bad experiences that I would've never had experienced if I didn't have those bad experiences to begin with. All in all, that's just my opinion though and I'm not Zethia but that's what I would've personally wanted.

And yeah, I know Midgard remembers... but think about it, once he dies, no one will ever remember what happened before. That's just forgotten forever. And not only that, since he's the ONLY one that remembers, he is literally like Zhongli from Genshin Impact. "Osmanthus wine tastes the same as I remember, but where are those who share the memory?" Even if he does meet them all again, he literally can't talk about the experience because no one would believe him. Poor Midgard is all alone with these old memories. 

 However, I do agree that your points are completely valid though. Especially the Euden thing. Looking at it again, if they all didn't get their memories erased, some of the bad guys like Volk and Beren wouldn't have gotten a happy ending. And some of the dead ones like Mordecai and Gatov's kingdom wouldn't come back. It doesn't show in the main story, but we can assume everywhere else is also fine as well. Saiga's wife is alive, and he didn't kill his master. Aldred lives a normal happy family life with his sister and parents. Hawk didn't have to kill his friends. Maybe Xander and Nefaria get their kingdoms back too. Leviathan doesn't accidentally kill a lot of people before meeting Euden. Epimetheus doesn't get abandoned. Etc etc.

My opinion now is that some of the really close ones should've been allowed to keep their memories and know the truth of what happened before the "good times." Like a secret between them and only them. That would've been a nicer ending.
